There is a fourth carrier with Freedom Mobile but the population density makes it so hard for them to truly compete.

  It's an argument that comes back often when talking about telco and it does make sense on the surface, but as far as I'm aware most the Canadian population lives in a pretty narrow range of the country's territory. There needs to be some compensation going into the dense areas paying for the infrastructure of the near-empty ones to a degree, but I have a hard time believing it justifies that level of pricing. Just look at the prices in Australia or Russia. There's no good technical reason Canada should just be massively more expensive than the rest.
