4 h. ago Bell fighting against CRTC plan to make internet cheaper for Canadians

Bell has started a public marketing campaign against the CRTC's fibre wholesale strategy ahead of a final review this summer.This fight began last summer when the CRTC instated a ruling that forces Bell and Telus, Canada's largest fibre internet providers, to share their networks with smaller internet service providers (ISPs) to increase competition, and, ideally, lower prices.However, the ruling also allows incumbent providers, like the Big Three, to share networks with each other, and that's the area Bell is taking the largest issue with. The telecom doesn't want Telus on its networks.This ruling means that if Bell or Telus install a fibre line to your home, other ISPs can pay a fee to use those lines to offer you fast internet. If you're wondering where Rogers sits in all this, it's technically classified as a "cable company," not a "telephone company," and cable companies were already required to offer wholesale access. However, R...

RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) has reported a quarterly loss and revised its annual earnings forecast downward due to the financial strain caused by its significant exposure to the dissolution of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), which recently sought creditor protection.In its first-quarter fiscal report for 2025, RioCan reported total valuation losses of $208.8 million in its property-based joint venture (JV) with Hudson's Bay, stemming from HBC's filing under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) earlier this year — an action the REIT formally opposed in a court motion."In Q1 2025, we took a write-down of our investment in the JV to reflect the current re-leasing assumptions. While we understand the uncertainty surrounding this situation has created some apprehension, we believe the market's reaction to RioCan is disproportionate in relation to our exposure to HBC and our ability to preserve at least some of the va...
