On January 24, 2023, our appeal of the Competition Tribunal’s #Rogers-#Shaw decision will be heard by @FedCourtApp_en@twitter.com.

The temporary stay of the Tribunal decision will remain in place until a ruling is made on the appeal. #CTRS #CompetitionMatters

The right decision from the Competition Bureau. The Tribunal has tarnished its reputation with its approach to Rogers-Shaw, making an appeal a must.

Is it just me, or does the only word that works in the newly-released Witness statement of Paul Allen Johnson referring to Dr. Wilson's new [REDACTED] Theory is "Collusion"?

As in "Dr. Miller's New Collusion Theory"?

HSBC Canada is Canada's 7th largest bank, biggest Schedule II bank, bigger than many domestic banks.

They reliably have better mortgage rates than any of the big Six. RBC is usually the worst.

Let's see if the Competition Bureau fights this as fervently as the #CTRS deal. https://twitter.com/CBCNews/status/1597582762562691073

Is the Competition Tribunal actually telling the public that the Harrington estimate of productive efficiencies is confidential??? A number that may be critically important (if an SPLC is found)? #CTRS @CompBureau@twitter.com

Particularly disappointing that we don't know details of the efficiencies that the cable cos are claiming would result from the merger. #CTRS #telecom https://twitter.com/BenKlass/status/1597600706869235712

As always, great summary of the #CTRS hearing yesterday. Headline might be a bit confusing...

Rogers says Videotron won't be less reliable despite leasing wireline connectivity

The story is great though

I'd love to be a fly on the wall. Are they actually talking substantive stuff or do they go in-camera and continue to waste time? #CTRS

Personally, I'd trust a guy with 50 years of experience who says there are a lot of problems.

And he has no financial skin in this - not even a grant to try to protect

Whoo hoo! #CTRS releasing the witness statement on the same day the Witness is testifying (admittedly weeks after they could have, but still).

Sucks that it's taken so long to get to the point where documents are near-timely, but still it's better than nothing?

Of course there are. And the written evidence is sufficient for that, much of this questioning was just grandstanding.

Which the #CTRS should probably interpret as the Bureau having it's own hidden agenda, to be frank.

The #CompetitonBureau shouldn't have hidden agendas.
