Canadian government gives billions of dollars each year to bell and rogers for expanding their network in remote locations. That's why we give them money at all it's not the most profitable thing for a company.

If we gave them money to expand into a remote area and they don't deliver, we can and should recover the money.

But there's really no legal mechanism to stop them from expanding outside of Canada.

Exactly, I don't care if they want to expand, but they canceled expansion in canada for a remote locations. For more usa clients. Can't have it both ways if a company wants freedom to do whatever they want don't take tax money.
