A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

How could we kickstart a 5th telecom across Canada? (self.askacanadian)

We could start fundraising to do the legal paperwork and buy a tower in a provincial capital then start the plans. Anyone who funds and/or works gets a share and the right to vote in the cooperative’s affairs.

The plan could be basic at first for a low price of $3 that includes wifi calling nationwide for anyone outside of the city. Then we could expand the cellular service across the province then maybe bring it the rest of the country to rival the competition and bring down prices for everyone.

Our cooperative would be focused on providing high paying jobs and providing good benefits.

We can use Mastodon, Friendica and Lemmy.ca to deliver service updates.

It’s just a fun thought experiment ;)

I could be wrong but isn't Oxio independent?

However, a co-op would be so awesome. I'd switch immediately. Bell funds a lot of right-wing politicians and treats their workers like crap which is gross.
