>I lived in the US for ~8 years and used T-Mobile. i dont find the T-Moble price to be too far off my freedom monthly rates.

I pay Sprint (now T-Mobile) $20 total for two unlimited lines. Yes, that includes all taxes and fees.

Admittedly, I got a fantastic deal (only available for two weeks) for one of the two lines, got the other line as a free promotion also only briefly available, and then got the taxes/fees incorporated into the total when the account moved over to T-Mobile. But if I didn't have those deals, I'd pay $25 (after a group discount that's trivial to get) to Visible for an unlimited line on the Verizon network, or Mint Mobile's[1] $30/month for unlimited plan, or $20/month for 10GB plan (which might as well be unlimited for me, and probably 95% of others). My understanding is that nothing in Canada comes close to these rates.

You can shop for deals from USA to Panama, it's wild.

There is no reason to give the Canadian incumbents any more money.
