Until Bell decides to snuff it out. They'll use their "legal" division (aka the CRTC) to outlaw it and no-one will squawk about it because: if you control the media, you control 'the people's' voice. We live in the shittiest timeline.

Lol. It's a crown corporation and WILDLY popular. No one will squawk? Any party would not withstanding that shit immediately because it's popular, and then just wrap it in their party-specific words.

The LAST thing Bell wants is to draw national attention to how well a provincial offering is. The LAST thing they want is for people to see that there are alternative structures that are working for other Canadians.

I’m sure the conservatives will continue trying to figure out a way to push it to withering and crumbling… they definitely tried to sell off/privatize chunks of them in the past but the level of outrage they were met with has put those ideas to bed for the time being

"This part of the Crown corporation is profitable on its own, we should sell it off!"

"Why are we spending so much money to subsidize this Crown corporation!? We should sell it off!"
