Podcast appearances and mentions of rogers shaw

“How often are they going to increase prices before Canadians say ‘that's enough?'” Did Rogers (now #1 in consumer complaints) finally cross a line with a price increase so shortly after its merger with Shaw? Will Canadians (and our elected representatives) finally be riled into action? MobileSyrup telecom reporter Nida Zafar joins to discuss. Don't hold your breath. Recorded at CreatorClub.

In a lot of ways, the economy we have is created by our laws. That may seem obvious, but it's easy to forget that when you're just going about your business, all those little daily transactions happen with a larger framework. Things like how much the stuff you buy costs and what people get paid are, to a great extent, determined by the laws we make rather than just “economic laws.” One of the most important pillars of that institutional framework our economy functions in is competition law, and to really understand Canada's competition laws and how they work, on this episodewe're joined by Professor Jennifer Quaid. Professor Quaid is an Associate Professor and Vice-Dean of Research in the Civil Law Section at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law, and she's worked on some of the most important competition cases in Canada.  Today's show is a true deep dive, and quite long, so we've turned it into two parts. In the first part last week, we looked at the details of what competition law is for, and how it's meant to work in Canada. In this episode, part 2, we look at how that law was applied in the case of the Rogers-Shaw deal, and some of the changes to competition law the federal government is exploring now.  — Links: More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe

Well, we are back after a long hiatus (sorry, stuff going on in Canadian communications!) to survey the competitive landscape after the Rogers-Shaw deal closed in Spring of 2023 - two years and 15 days after being announced.We speak with George Burger, Chief Operating Officer, about the Canadian home Internet market post-Rogers-Shaw; why VMedia and Videotron (Quebecor) are a strong independent disrupter outside Québec that will only help consumers, and why the wireless market may just reward us with a strong 4th player (yes, please!).Not quite sure if it's going to come true, but hopium at this stage is good.We end with a dunk on those people who thought Bill C-11 meant more money for Canadian creators.  Turns out traditional broadcasters are not as keen on funding it when they think someone else will pay.

Today we check in with Equity Research Analysts Brendan Cochrane and Andrew Hall, as they discuss the spring consumer story, their thoughts on inflation, and what investors can expect heading into the summer. Brendan and Andrew share highlights from the recent Consumer Price Index announcement. They say food prices have been affected by the above annualized rate of inflation, something consumers can expect to notice on their grocery bills. Though prices have increased steadily across all categories for the past 18 months or so, commodify categories such as dairy and meat have been hit hard by labour shortages and rising production costs. Brendan and Andrew also provide an overview of the ongoing growth of telecom, citing the close of the Rogers-Shaw merger after a two year governmental review as a sign that the industry is embarking on a new era of competition. Turning to the auto sector, Brendan and Andrew explain that as new car production continues to increase, the prices of used cars will drop, positively affecting inflation. The big story of 2023, they say, is the normalization of the supply chain, allowing production to return back to pre-COVID levels. Recorded on May 16, 2023.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police's reputation and morale have seemingly taken hit after hit in recent years. The recent blistering report issued over the Mounties' performance in the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, where a gunman executed 22 innocent people in Nova Scotia, hasn't helped. The report found the RCMP failed in almost every way. ‘The West Block' host Mercedes Stephenson spoke with Mike Duheme, the interim RCMP commissioner, about what the force is doing to live up to its claim that it will do better. Plus, Stephenson talks with Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson fellow on the future of workers, and Craig Alexander, former chief economist at Deloitte and TD Bank, about whether the Rogers-Shaw corporate merger will really mean lower bills for Canadians.

The deal would see Rogers buy Shaw for $20-billion. In an already concentrated industry, Canada's Competition Bureau has argued that the deal would be bad for consumers who already pay some of the highest cell phone bills in the world.Telecom reporter, Alexandra Posadzki explains the implications of this deal and why, even though it has cleared significant legal hurdles, Canada's Federal Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne won't rush his signoff.Questions?

We begin with a topic every resident seems to have an opinion on the ‘Event Centre'. Our Dave McIvor took the topic to the street, this time out to hear why Calgarians think the project needs to happen. The massive merger of communications giants Rogers and Shaw is one-step closer to becoming a reality. We speak with Ben Klass, PhD Candidate from Carleton University, for his reaction to this week's announcement that the Competition Bureau will not ‘block' the mega-deal. The city is seeking YOUR input regarding RV parking in residential neighbourhoods. We'll find out why the city is interested in updating the current regulations and hear details on how you can voice your opinion.  Finally, a real ‘out of this world' topic: agriculture on Mars! We speak with Evan Fraser of the ‘Arrell Food Institute' at the University of Guelph, on the current plans in place to ‘feed' future ‘planetary settlers' and if we can adapt the technology involved to make farming more effective here on earth.

This episode recounts the dramatic, rapid decision(s) of the Competition Tribunal allowing the merger of Shaw and Rogers (with divestment of Freedom Mobile to Videotron) and why that is weird, appealable, and not a good sign for Canadian wireless and other telecommunications markets.Ben Klass again joins the podcast to give his opinion on the meaning of the decision(s), the appeal, the possible state of the market if the merger proceeds and the weaknesses of Canada's Competition Act and related entities.We close with an update on the CBC-Radio-Canada licence renewal decision that was overturned by Cabinet and welcome new CRTC Chairperson Vicky Eatrides. She has a lot to do.

As Canadians grapple with soaring grocery bills, accusations of 'price gouging' are being hurled at the supermarket industry. We deconstruct that term and how it's viewed in the eyes of the law. Plus, where the Rogers-Shaw merger is at — and why it matters.

Hey Kits! It's a new year, a new season, and a new episode of The Not Quite Daily Beaver Morning Show... And today, given Yours Truly overslept on Wednesday, we have an extra-large bite for you.

We also chat about "no hate like Christian love"; MGTOW Millhouse doing the fools rush in thing to defend Kermit the Peterson; Team Canada's Gold Medal win at the World Juniors; selfish people punching down on children because national daycare costs money; the Rogers-Shaw merger; medical consultation fees in Ontario; Chrystia Freeland volunteering at a food bank; year-end interviews with the Prime Minister and the federal government's strategy on addressing Québec's Bill 21; a bit of COVID update featuring XBB 1.5; and US GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy making history... in all the wrong ways.

Our panel has the latest. ---- THE LATEST ON ROGERS-SHAW MERGER STORY Libby Znaimer is joined by Stephen Zolf, a corporate lawyer with Aird and Berlis LLP who specializes in competition law and Ellen Roseman, a consumer advocate and journalist. In the news: the Competition Bureau has dismissed a challenge to the Rogers-Shaw deal by the Competition Bureau, and so now it is up to Ottawa to give final approval to the merger which is valued at $26-billion. Key questions remain: what kind of implications will this have for mobile customers in Canada and is it healthy to have even less competition in the mobile market that is already controlled by only a few big telecom giants? Our experts weigh in. ---- OTTAWA TO REQUIRE TRAVELERS FROM CHINA TO SHOW NEGATIVE COVID-19 TEST Libby Znaimer is now joined by Dr. Kerry Bowman, a bioethicist at the University of Toronto. Ottawa is going to temporarily require those travelling into Canada from China, Hong Kong and Macao to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test before their arrival. This policy will come into effect starting January 5th. According to Dr. Bowman, this move is politically motivated and not one based on science. He explains.

Today is the final day of the hearing that will decide the fate of the Rogers-Shaw merger, a deal that has wide-ranging implications for competition in Canada's telecoms industry. Please, stop us if you've heard this one before, but Elon Musk's Twitter just made a big change involving safety and moderation leaving a whole bunch of people on bad terms. Feeling gloomy about the state of Canada's economy these days? You aren't alone. New polling by Crestview Strategy shared exclusively with The Peak shows that a large majority of Canadians think our economy is getting worse. Celebrating something?

We return to look at the Rogers-Shaw deal and possible different solutions than the divestment of Shaw's wireless business to Videotron (Quebecor) - solutions that might include a "maverick" once and future(?) independent wireless competitor, Globalive, best known as the operator of WIND Mobile before it was sold to Shaw and renamed "Freedom Mobile".  Globalive's Simon Lockie joins the podcast to give the inside scoop on a past and future competitor's efforts to start a fourth national wireless company and whether Globalive can acquire Shaw's "Freedom Mobile" assets if Shaw (or Rogers) must sell them to obtain regulatory approval of the larger Rogers-Shaw deal, which is now before the Competition Tribunal. What Canadians pay for wireless service for the foreseeable future will be decided in the next few months and we discuss all of the possible futures at this hinge point.

The proposed Rogers-Shaw merger was back in the news last week as Canadian Industry minister Francois Philippe Champagne held a mid-week press conference to announce that the original deal was dead, but that a reworked deal that brings in Videotron might be a possibility if certain government expectations on restrictions on transferring spectrum licences and consumer pricing outside of Quebec were met. Keldon Bester is a co-founder of the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project (CAMP), a fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation and an independent consultant and researcher working on issues of competition and monopoly power in Canada. He's been one of the most insightful and outspoken experts on the proposed Rogers-Shaw merger and he joins the Law Bytes podcast to discuss where things stand and the big picture weaknesses of Canadian competition law and policy.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Children's hospitals in Canada are seeing an increase in cases of a common respiratory virus: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). How do we get this under control? Dr. Tim Sly, epidemiologist, returns with Scott to offer some advice. Canada's premiers are dialing up the political heat in their efforts to get Ottawa to increase federal health transfers to the provinces and territories. Our guest Colleen Flood says that Canada has a “fragmented accountability” system that only provides voters with the option of voting out a government if they are unhappy with their health system or how it's being managed. Minister has rejected original Rogers-Shaw deal, leaves door open with new conditions. Our guest Marvin Ryder says he sees this as a clear path toward success for the deal!

Tonight on the Brian Crombie Radio Hour I interview Keldon Bester, a competition expert, about the proposed Rogers Shaw merger particularly given the Rogers outage last week.Keldon Bester is a co-founder of the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project (CAMP), a Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, and an independent consultant and researcher. Keldon Bester is a CIGI fellow studying issues of competition and monopoly power in Canada. He has worked as a special adviser at Canada's Competition Bureau and as a fellow at the Open Markets Institute, and contributed to the UK Treasury's Unlocking Digital Competition: Report of the Digital Competition Expert Panel. Keldon holds a master of public policy degree from the Harvard Kennedy School.

Millions of Canadians felt the full effect of a nation-wide system failure at Rogers. The outages affected cell, wireless, television, and internet services, in some cases, for days. That, inturn, closed some businesses and services or slowed them to a crawl. After the initial outrage was voiced loudly across the country, the narrative turned to calls for more telcom competition and questioned the wisdom of a Rogers-Shaw merger. But the real issue that needs to be addressed is the state of our cyber security. Whether or not the Rogers crash was caused by a cyber attack is one thing but it was most definitely a cybersecurity failure. This week on The Daily Brief we will highlight one of our new Story Studio Network series: 1 CLICK 2 CYBER CHAOS.

If you'd like a transcript of this month's episode, you can head on over to freezenet.ca and check out the official page for this episode.

There've been some big developments in the telecommunications industry in the past couple of weeks. Rogers and Shaw announced a $26-billion dollar merger, and the CRTC came out with a decision that could have a big impact on your cellphone bills. We brought on Mike Lee Murphy, editor of the Wire Report, to walk us through what these two developments mean, why they matter, and how it could affect you.

John Lawford, PIAC's Executive Director and General Counsel welcomes special guest Konrad von Finckenstein, PIAC's current Chair of the Board, to work through options the Competition Bureau, the CRTC and the Industry Minister could have to modify the deal to preserve at least some competition.  In a spirited conversation, Mr. Lawford attempts to outline consumer frustration with the process and the deal, while Mr. von Finckenstein calmly discusses the cold, hard calculations in the regulatory, merger and political fields and how they could play out in a frankly challenging merger with no easy way to ensure the same level of competition before and after. He should know: he has been Commissioner of Competition,  Chair of the CRTC,  advisor on mergers to the Industry Minister,  Federal Court of Appeal justice and much more. But that doesn't stop Mr. Lawford from trying. Both agreed, however, that the CRTC's upcoming MVNO decision, expected the very next day, would change the context and maybe the entire conversation.We hope that this lively exchange of views will help consumers understand the complexities of mergers in Canada and that their voice is needed.

John Lawford, PIAC's Executive Director and General Counsel, explains merger review in Canada in light of the proposed Rogers-Shaw merger. What fun.Competition law basics are described but the real process of applying them to a deal by the Competition Bureau and the parties is covered, along with the roles of the CRTC and the Minister of Innovation Science and Industry in the Department of Industry, Science and Economic Development (ISED).This convoluted process has previously resulted in blocking 0 of 6 previous wireless mergers.  What do you think are the odds of stopping number 7?Consumers can have an effect and should express their views to all of these government bodies. PIAC will be as well, but the only real voice belongs to the consumers who buy and use wireless, Internet and other services of these large telecommunications companies.  Have your say!

When the proposed Rogers – Shaw merger was announced last month, it immediately became a flashpoint for Canada’s ongoing debate over wireless competition and pricing. The Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology moved quickly to put the proposed merger under the microscope with hearings that have included Rogers and Shaw along with academics, competitors, and regulators. I was invited to appear before the committee and provide my take on the implications of the merger. This week’s Law Bytes podcast goes inside the virtual hearing room with my short opening statement followed by clips of the Q &A with several Members of Parliament.

This week, Riley and Dan are joined by Paris Marx of the Tech Won't Save Us podcast to discuss the Rogers-Shaw merger. We get to the bottom of just how the Canadian telecom industry got quite so concentrated and monopolistic, and identify the barriers to all Canadians having high quality, affordable internet (hint: it's politics!). On Patreon this week, we talked to Charles, Branson, and Andrew from Episode 1 all about the real jewels in Canada's crown: mid-priced casual dining chain restaurants.

The proposed merger of Rogers and Shaw is touted to be Canada's biggest telecom deal in two decades. What does it mean for investors? According to our experts, Chris McHaney, Matt Montemurro and Mark Raes, it's a strong opportunity to build on the low-volatility exposure that often serves as a core holding in client portfolios. They also outline inflation-hedging strategies, and solutions to address a steepening yield curve.  Read the episode summary.  Mark Raes is the Head of Product at BMO Global Asset Management.
