Based on the limited research I've done, I can buy a fair bit of roaming before switching to a big 3 plan makes sense.
In my experience you would be better off switching to one of the big 3's secondary providers. Koodo is Telus, Fido is Rogers, and Virgin is Bell. All of those offer the same coverage as their parent provider, but at a lower cost. Not sure what you have right now, but some of the current offers:
Koodo/ Virgin:
3 GB Data- $50
5 GB Data- $60

Fido:
4 GB Data- $50
6 GB Data- $60

Granted those only have 500 voice minutes, but voice seems to be a tertiary feature now for a lot of people.

Also look at how much data you use, and how much do you need. For example, are you using 6 GB of data because you never connect to wifi? If you have Shaw internet, could you use their wifi to reduce that?
