Why bother even trying when you can be sure you'll be bullied by whatever monopolies dominate your industry while our politicians stand idly by.

Our governments are only interested in keeping the established companies healthy and strong. It's mind bogglingly short sighted.

This. Exactly this. Either they'll buy your company or they run you out of town. We have quasi monopolies across so many sectors in Canada, is ridiculous. And that's why the cost of living is so damn high.

Canada is 3 monopolies in a trench coat. The only independent ISP in Ontario is on it's last legs, and most places have only one option for electricity and natural gas.
