Are you a major Rogers share holder or something? Why would you encourage this kind of anti consumer behaviour?

I just don't think it's something the government needs to get involved with.
The way you voice your displeasure is by not paying for it.
Netflix, Amazon, Apple+, DAZN, Fubo, etc etc all have exclusive content, the NHL streaming rights being exclusive to Sportsnet Now / Rogers is no different.
I just don't really see what people want the government to do here.
Force Rogers/NHL to sell additional streaming rights to the NHL to other companies?
Don't allow streaming companies to have exclusive content?
It's no different than saying "I don't want to pay Crave/HBO to watch House of the Dragons, the CRTC should force them to sell that show to another provider". Not happening.
