I'm curious what you think you would get from a deregulated banking sector and a deregulated telecom sector? As far as I see it, people in Thunder Bay, Swan River, Bas-Saint-Laurent, or, etc etc wouldn't have had cell service for a long time, maybe even still today, and we might have cheaper cell plans and more data and faster speeds in Toronto and Vancouver. Canadian economy would be in a considerably weaker position with more Canadians in poor financial situations, but we had a wider range of products and services? I can only see deregulation of those sectors being self serving, I don't think it helps all Canadians at large, and I think that's what being a Canadian is all aboot.

Thunder Bay have its very own mobile carrier, which is quite a feat for a town of 100k people.

I was born in Thunder Bay. :) Maybe Fort Frances would have been a better example, basically the cell and internet in Fort Frances was non-existent/didn't work 90% of the time till the province forced Tbay Tel & Shaw to service the region correctly, and we paid the same prices as folks in Tbay, and I'm sure it made little to no economic sense to be servicing that far up north at that time, but I'm sure glad they did.
