Meh, CRTC has a lot more good to do before we can forgive them for enabling the telecoms to keep robing Canadians, with most expensive prices per gigabyte in the whole world.

I wonder if geography or population density matters in these conversations. It costs 6.5x more to bring a cell tower to your neighborhood than it does in the US - but you will continue to compare Uganda or other countries that are postage stamps in terms of size compared to Canada - and act as if that’s logical.
Most expensive prices per gigabyte in the developed world. Small caveat, the situation is still terrible, but being correct is important.
If paying high cellular, internet & home prices is a sign of “developed” world. Yes
We pay less than Uganda, more than all of Europe. That's what's important here. Complaining correctly.
