    Our collective response to getting fleeced is to just shrug and pay the higher prices while bitching about it.

    What exactly can we even do outside of voting? Even that seems futile with the Liberals convincing* the left to vote for them “strategically”. You can’t really survive without a phone plan but there’s no smaller telcos to use for 90% of people

      The most basic thing you can do to start with is to contact your elected representatives and demand action, and I’d be willing to bet most people haven’t even done that. Make a stink; contact the media, the government, and get others to do the same. Start building a unified demand for change that becomes impossible to ignore.

      Escalate from there as needed. Corruption doesn’t go away because you asked it nicely. It has to be forced out like cancer from the body.
