In other news, water is wet!

We used to have laws and regulations in place for stuff like this, same with the USA. As years passed they lost their teeth

Canada's regulatory agencies feel so incredibly spineless. So many industries here are unchecked oligopolies with skyrocketing prices.

My American friends are jawdropped when I tell them how much food, internet, and cell plans cost here.

The people in charge... They're all bought and paid for. That's why.

Regulatory capture is a common theme regardless of industry here
