If you had said "you'll pay more per channel", then I'm with you. But that's not what you said. Are Canadians really paying more in total for their pay TV than they were before? If so, I would like to see the evidence.

They're paying more for everything. Canada is still a British colony. Members of the British monarchy are pictured on their currency.

I want to see the evidence regarding pay TV. Royals on the money is not that evidence.

TV programming packages - Satellite TV | Bell Canada

Every package is more expensive than Dish

Even their "Welcome Pack" equivalent is $2 more per month than Dish

That still isn't the question.

My link isn't evidence enough?

 

[dare2be]

Nope. The question wasn't about comparing CA prices to US prices. It was about comparing what they pay now against what they paid before ala carte.

 

[comfortably_numb]

Those packages are what they currently offer. I don't have access to previous offerings. Do you?

 

[dare2be]

Nope. And you can't compare the apples to oranges prices between the US and CA.

Can you?

Prices are higher, taxes are higher, salaries are higher, dollar value is lower, tv packages are different. That's a lot of variables to consider. I guess you could compare tv package prices as a percentage of take home pay. My guess is that the costs in Canada are no higher than here, and may even be lower.

If their dollar is worth less, but the equivalent package costs more, doesn't that make it even more expensive than the price would indicate?

 

[ncted]

Everything is more expensive in a socialist economy

Good thing we don't already live in one of those.

Canadian Dollar = 0.76 US Dollar

No. The package prices are in their dollars too, so it's a wash. The higher package prices are proportionally higher with the higher salaries in those same dollars.

Has anyone informed the Brits yet ?

 

[comfortably_numb]

If it weren't for that little revolutionary war we had, we'd still be a British colony, too
