RE:Let them know how you feel !When you manage your own money, its up to you to do your own due diligence.

BCE's balance sheet has deteriorated continuously since 2008. Debt in 2008 was $10B. $20B in 2014. $36B in 2024 including prefs. 

Most of these utility type companies (ex Enbridge, AT&T) have more debt now than than they did back then but I suspect, nowhere near as much as BCE.

Annual Dividend and interest payments in 2014 were $3B. They're now $5B...

The reason they sold their stake in MLSE and acquired that US business is to improve their ratios so they can borrow more (because they have to).  Probably should continue down this path as much as possible actually.
