To put things in Canadian context, this is advocating that the Federal government - which cannot even operate a passport printer properly or keep airports running in a non-catastrophic manner - be trusted with critical infrastructure.

All while one of the most brutally divisive and tyrannical Prime Ministers in Canadian history is sitting in power.

Hard. Pass. The tri-opoly at least acts as somewhat of a check on a Federal government that seems desperate to control the internet.



Same. Some good arguments are made about decentralization and the ideals for efficiency aren't bad, surely the author is a smart person. I remember singing "God keep our land glorious and free." as a little kid. Nowadays I feel like I'd need to add an asterisk at the end of that line, that points to a note in the margin, that says "To the extent it is, or could ever be".
