    Great, I fully support this. However, this should be way at the bottom of our priority list. Canadian Telecom, Banks, and News Media should all be wayyy higher on the priority list.

    The Bank of Canada even said that one of the largest contributers to Canada's low productivity is the lack of competition present in so many of our industries.

      Well said.

      Protectionism under the guise of regulation, similar to the EU.

        Is it protectionism? What Canada-based google alternatives are there?

        On the other hand, inflated ad prices and deflated online revenue do hurt Canadian businesses selling online. I don’t read this action as pro-Canadian search but anti-abusing monopolization

    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?

      I trust they can identify a monopoly when one exists.

        How is that working with Rogers?

          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?

    The sharks are circling and by "sharks" I mean the same people who lobby the government for link taxes and publish puff pieces on politicians who go after their business rivals.
