As if the CRTC doesn't meet the absolute economics 101 textbook definition of Regulatory Capture.
If the Canadian federal government had any intention of applying actual consumer-friendly policies with teeth to the telecom industry, they wouldn't be letting Shaw and Rogers merge. But they almost certainly will.
In Canada this is not a (L) or (C) political problem, both parties have been equally bad in the last 25 years letting telecom companies with billions of dollars market cap do basically whatever the hell they wanted. Under Chretien, Martin, Harper, and Trudeau. It's more a problem of the wealthy throwing their weight around in Canadian business influence over the government policies generally.
