It's definitely not just the Telecom giants, consumers get bent over by every sector in Canada. It's definitely a case of what the market will bear. Should a coffee cost $5, no but people line up to pay for it. Should a bottle of water cost nearly $3, absolutely not but people still buy that as well. Auto manufacturers, grocery giants, all utilities power/water/gas, etc. Canada is not a very affordable place to live anymore, and the level of service is in steep decline as well.
But at least it's not just the private sector gouging us, every level of government does a much better job of lightening our wallets.
