TekSavvy: The Comic Book!

We’re proud to present the first issue of “The Intrepid Savvies,” which was created and distributed to shine a light on the state of the telecommunications sector in Canada.

This is the story of a captured regulator and an all-powerful telecommunications industry, and a small but mighty band of heroes who fight to make things better. While the story may be exaggerated, it reflects a real and significant shift over the past few years in the Canadian telecommunications industry toward fewer companies increasing their market power, often with the encouragement of decision-makers such as the CRTC and the Competition Bureau. If this trend continues, there will be no space left for smaller independent competitors and Canadians will lose. Every Canadian deserves internet access at an affordable price, yet we continue to pay some of the highest prices for telecommunications services in the world. Contact your elected representatives and demand they fight for smaller service providers and lower prices.
