Anyone who lives in Canada should comment on this. Their mobile data cost is over the roof expensive! This is in comparison already expensive cost in Australia.

They need to manage to give everyone affordable 5G monthly data plan first!

Canadian here. I don't especially care about having a 5G plan, but I support this decision.

Rogers used Ericsson before and they were no cheaper than Telus that was heavy huawei. Geography and population density and lack of competition are what make Canadian wireless more expensive than other countries.

Either way I would rather pay more and not rely on China.

Also I'm holding a grudge against huawei due to Nortel being hacked.
