And a coffee shop which is widely loved but functionally is just a powerless figurehead.

In New Zealand it’s the same, and 5 of those 6 are Australian.

Closest thing Canada has to royal family. They own the east coast.

I grew up in Ontario. Never heard of them. Then I moved out east and holy fuck it was crazy how I never heard of this family. They own everything in the maritimes. Them and the McCain’s(french fry McCain’s).

It’s to the point that the Maritimes feel like a factory town and most of Canada never heard of them. Might have something to do with how they own all media out there too.

There are actually three major telecom companies making up 85%+ of the market share: Bell, Rogers, and Telus. Don’t be fooled by names like Virgin, Fido, and Koodo, as those are just the “lite” subsidiaries of the three major companies respectively.

For supermarkets there is Loblaws, as you said. But, it’s not like Sobeys and Metro are much better, they just keep their robber-baron executives better hidden.

Sobeys and Metro are literally the exact same shit. The whole boycott thing was so stupid, they played us like a fiddle.

Huh, I almost guessed Telus. Is Bell more of an east coast thing?

Bell is the second largest in Canada in number of suscribers.

Bell was available in Nova Scotia when I lived there. It’s also in Ontario. I can’t speak for other provinces.
