Canada is so much like the U.S. that the subtle differences often feel kind of eerie and weird. One of them, which I see on TV whenever I visit, is how many phone ads there are, and how they're all basically trying to sell four phone plans at a time.

Bundling is a pretty ingenious evil way to make it very painful for a customer to switch away, especially when you've got your teens on the plan.

That is why bundling is generally considered anticompetitive (despite 40 years of slumber on the part of regulators, it's still illegal) https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...
