Telus Could Be In Deep Trouble

[Schussing56]

MT Newswires -- On Monday, one page from a Telus deck prepared for a June 9, 2021 meeting with the Competition Bureau opened a few eyes to just how aggressively the western telco was maneuvering against the Rogers-Shaw deal, notes National Bank's Adam Shine. Its internal Project Fox was about killing the deal or slowing it while shaping the narrative with politicians, regulators and reporters. The same page of the deck had a bullet that called to "mobilize western alienation activists and seed information with those groups that this is a bad deal for western Canada which will lead to layoffs, declining investment, etc. in the long term". An earlier bullet stated "How do we kill this deal without making it about competition? Make it about jobs".

Nathan Miller, a Georgetown University professor funded by the Competition Bureau to assess the impact of the deal, was featured. This follows cross-examination in recent days of Bell and TELUS executives that involved a lot of non-public sessions.

Definitely, not a good look for Telus - involved with "Western alienation activists!" I wonder what penalties the justice system will levy?
