Podcast Overview

Do you wonder why small towns, small businesses and people seem to be falling behind and you don’t know why? Feeling helpless about whether any of us can do anything to halt the decline of the places we love? Well, we know a secret. Our society fought the same battles about 100 years ago, and small towns won. Join Andrew Cameron, the founder of the Center for Small Town Success and small business owner, every other week as he rediscovers our Canadian Anti-Monopoly tradition. The goal is to learn how we successfully fought back against Monopolies in the 1900s so we can restore power to small towns, small businesses and individuals today. Listen to this podcast if you want to learn more about Canadian Competition Policy and to join the Anti-Monopoly movement. #freeboswell #cdnpoli

e29: Great Things are Happening

e29: In this week's episode I look at a lot of the great things happening in the anti-monopoly world currently. There appears to be a sea-change towards monopolies and consolidated power occurring. It's small, it's fragile, it could be the start of something big, or big business could fight back and stamp it. I know how I want the future to play out, I just can't say exactly how things will go. In that spirit, I want to acknowledge and celebrate the wins and successes we're having so far.Links from today's episode:<ul><li><a href="https://mkht.transistor.fm/episodes/e09-the-efficiences-defense-lets-not-keep-it">e09: The Efficiencies Defense - Let's Not Keep It.</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/monopolyproject/status/1704944876561817834?s=20">CAMP's breakdown of bills to amend The Competition Act</a></li><li><a href="https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/strategic-policy-sector/en/marketplace-framework-policy/competition-policy/consultation-future-competition-policy-canada/future-canadas-competition-policy-consultation-what-we-heard-report">Future of Canada's Competition Policy Consultation – What We Heard Report</a></li></ul>

e28: Canned Goods and more Rogers/Shaw madness

e28: In this episode we're looking at two topics - the Canning Industry in the 1930's and more on the Rogers/Shaw merger. We're going to start with the investigation the Price Spreads Commission did into the canning industry in the 1930s. This section has everything we've looked at so far in this podcast - mass buyers, high shipping costs, vertical integration, secret rebates, side deals, people and farmers getting screwed. All of it seems to come together in the canning industry.The second half we're going to look at the Rogers/Shaw merger again. Turns out that Videotron has gone back to the Federal government to ask Rogers to fulfill their obligations from the divestiture. We're not even 6 months out from the merger! Second, the Competition Tribunal has awarded Rogers/Shaw about $13 million in costs. We need to pay Rogers/Shaw $13 million. WOW! The Tribunal also said Commissioner Matthew Boswell was unreasonable. I have many thoughts on the Tribunal's ruling.Links:<ul><li><a href="https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/10/27/rogers-shaw-deal-timeline/">Timeline of Rogers-Shaw deal</a></li><li><a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-quebecor-asks-industry-minister-to-intervene-in-dispute-with-rogers/">Quebecor asks industry minister to intervene in dispute with Rogers over MVNO rates</a></li><li><a href="https://decisions.ct-tc.gc.ca/ct-tc/cdo/en/521211/1/document.do">Tribunal's cost ruling in Rogers-Shaw case</a></li></ul>
