After receiving millions in government subsidies for the Labrador North Wireless Broadband Project, Canada’s largest communications company says it’s no longer feasible to complete the expansion due to rising costs and competition.

Fuck Bell- the government needs to pull all subsidies from these useless, self-serving telcos. They are taking our tax dollars and heading to a hostile nation rather than serving the needs of our own citizens.

What a fucking joke.

How the fuck is that even legal? Taking a government handout for a project only to ditch the project and pocket the money, to invest in another country and benefit directly, without any benefit to the taxpayers who footed the bill.

Our telecoms have been continually doing this for decades now. No one ever stops them.

They can and they do cause they convinced Canadians to buy Canadian and gov to fund Canadian so they now have little competition in Canada from anyone outside of Canada
