No crap! Duhhh. Finally competition bureau is doing some of their home work. And new entrant encouragement isn't the only action that's available. And that's not the only sector that's been consolidated either. Someone needs to kick the behind of these bureaucrats.

Are there any trackers on what they or the CRTC have done? It'd be nice to hold them accountable for not just saying things but actually doing things.

I tried to see if Open Media has something, but looks like it's just the campaigns: https://openmedia.org/campaigns

There was a campaign a year ago about telecom monopoly practices, but it's now closed: https://openmedia.org/press/item/over-28000-petition-signers-call-for-end-to-canadas-telecom-monopoly
