Competition Bureau taking a shot at this seems like they just copy stuff from lawsuits in the U.S. Do they really understand or use terms like "ad tech stack"? I wouldn't trust them to know what they're talking about ... or that their solution of "selling off two of its tools" helps the situation. What competitors are waiting in the wings that aren't also going to employ the same practices?
What monopoly does Rogers have? They've been an option for various telecom offerings in places i've lived throughout canada, but I've never chosen them due to inferior product. Which monopoly do they have?

I trust they can identify a monopoly when one exists.
How is that working with Rogers?
