William Webb, chief technology officer at Access Partnership and a Shaw witness, told the Competition Tribunal Monday that Freedom under Quebecor Inc.-owned Videotron would not lack access to the assets or services it would need to be as effective a wireless competitor as Freedom under Shaw.
Freedom does not offer 5G connectivity and does not own 3500 MHz. 3500 MHz is spectrum that has become key for 5G innovation. Videotron acquired 3500 MHz spectrum in the summer of 2021, concentrated in southern and eastern Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. Freedom offers service in large parts of Ontario and Western Canada.

Failure of intelligence led to failure in policing during Freedom Convoy: 'levels of law enforcement must act sooner,' say insiders and expertsThe duration and severity of this past winter’s Freedom Convoy protest in downtown Ottawa began with a failure of intelligence leading to a failure in policing, and is “a confirmation of the failure of preparation,” say security experts and insiders following the Public Order Emergency Commission. Wesley Wark, national security expert and a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, said there is now a better understanding of policing failures which were very evident in the early days of the Freedom Convoy occupation in Ottawa and in terms of the border blockades. “Real policing failures, by which I mean an inability to respond quickly and effectively to these occupation, either in Ottawa or at the borders,” said Wark, who added that those failures were a direct product of intelligence breakdown. “Intelligence at all levels, from local police forces, to Ottawa police, to provincial, to federal especially, did not have a good handle on either the intentions or the capabilities of the Freedom Convoy protest,” said Wark. Wark pointed to the OPP’s “Project Hendon,” described in his newsletter as an “ambitious project to bring together law enforcement agencies from across Canada to study the rise of mass civil dissent and protests. The project initially focused on public safety threats prompted by a series of protests surrounding Indigenous issues such as the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protests in British Columbia and related protests in Ontario.

NP View: It is immoral to pressure Ukraine to negotiate with Vladimir PutinAs long as the Ukrainian people have fight left in them, it is no business of ours to tell them not to continue their struggle for freedom. What’s moral is stealing from citizens all over the world to fund a war no one cares about and continue the senseless loss of life and destruction of Ukraine all to profit the USA industrial military complex. It’s what Jesus would have wanted Pressuring a side to negotiate a deal for peace is a bad thing. Got it 🖕 It's 'immoral' to support and fuel a proxy war and claim you represent the side of morality.

Alberta Premier Smith and Trump are ‘major distractions’ in Poilievre’s quest to become prime minister, say political insidersIn his quest to become prime minister, Pierre Poilievre faces two vulnerabilities from outside the federal Conservative Party: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and former U.S. president Donald Trump. Smith’s musings about a two-tier health-care system, and renewed attention on Trump’s populist style of politics as he runs for the Republican Party presidential nomination again could create opportunities for the Liberals to associate Poilievre with each, political observers say. In interviews with The Hill Times, political insiders said Smith’s controversial proposal of a health-care savings account for Albertans will likely be used against the federal Conservatives. Prior to the 2000 federal election, the now-defunct Canadian Alliance Party publicly supported the idea of a two-tier health-care system. The Liberals under then prime minister Jean Chrétien used it as ammunition, accusing the Canadian Alliance—then led by Stockwell Day—of harbouring a “hidden agenda,” and capitalized on this vulnerability. The Liberals went on to win a third consecutive majority government that year. After the debacle, the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative parties merged in 2003 to become the Conservative Party. “Danielle Smith, with her idea, is opening a vulnerability for Conservatives again,” Greg Lyle, president of Innovative Research, told The Hill Times. “I’m not sure that she understands what she’s done. But it is potentially the most significant thing that’s happened in the past few months in terms of the next federal campaign and certainly the next Alberta campaign.” According to a Nanos Research poll, the Emergencies Act inquiry chaired by Justice Paul Rouleau, has cost Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party four percentage points in the last one month. The inquiry has reminded Canadians that Poilievre supported the Freedom Convoy.

The media in Canada has fomented the hatred of Trump. In the US, the media has not taken a time out from bashing Trump. Great propaganda by legacy media. abbas_rana1 Aside from the fact that PeePee is totally unfit to be PM. His atrocious judgment alone (backing the CONVOY, promoting Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation) should disqualify him. abbas_rana1 PierrePoilievre DanielleSmith should be watching paint dry or watching lawn grass grow. never in a position of authority.
