Rogers “claims” that this whopping price increase is due to their “significant investment” which of course is total BS. It’s really to pay for upgrades on Rogers family properties in Tru*p’s neighbourhood and cover the costs of board members attending Tru*p rallies.

The price increase follows massive staff cuts at #Shaw since #Rogers was allowed to take over despite promises of the opposite.

Will the #CRTC and competition board take any action? Not likely.

Apparently, #ShawDirect, now that it’s owned by #Rogers, is forcing right-wing extremist “news” channel #NewsForum onto our subscription. No thanks. How is this foreign-owned shit even allowed to be broadcast in Canada? #CRTC #TV #extremism #canTV
