There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Because 2 companies (bell, rogers) control almost the vast majority of telecomm rights in Canada - and the government is too spineless to change that. (These companies also own many media outlets that do not publish stories critical of their parent companies.) Those two companies have a duopoly and charge what they please. As Canadians, we deserve better. Why should those two companies reap huge profits that we all pay for?
