        Quebecor Inc. is a “smaller player”?

        I guess Videotron and Freedom are relatively smaller, but Quebecor is a behemoth.

        It owns:

        • Groupe TVA (broadcasting, publishing & production)
        • Canoe Inc. (internet websites including Canoe.ca/Canoe.com portal and Archambault.ca)
        • Vidéotron (cellular, cable television and internet service provider)
        • MediaPages (print and online directories)
        • TVA Publishing Inc. (largest magazine publishing company in Quebec)
        • Quebecor Media Book Group (book publishing companies)
        • Distribution Select (distributor of CDs and videos)
        • Le SuperClub Vidéotron (Movie rental stores)
        • Gestion Studios Bloobuzz S. E. C (a video games publisher)
        • QMI press agency (news agency)

          Fair enough. Even so though, consider their respective revenues:

          • Quebecor: $4.5Bn (2022)
          • Telus: $15.3Bn (2020)
          • Rogers: $15.4Bn (2022 - may not include Shaw’s revenue from that year)
          • Bell: $24Bn (2019)

          So less than a third of second-last place. In relative terms, that’s a lot smaller.

          Informative, still very small compared to Telus who’s now entering healthcare and farming among other things.

            Telus has been digging their greasy fingers into healthcare - specifically government-funded, for-profit healthcare - for about a decade now.

              Did you know they did the report that said Alberta is owed half of the CPP?

      I’ve been with them since they were called Wind. Always been satisfied, but since they merged with Videotron my experience with them has gotten even better.
