Opinion: The only reason Canadian telecoms and the Canadian government haven't officially announced an outright ban is because of the delicate situation with Meng + the two Michaels. They've almost certainly, behind the scenes, committed to it.
Oh no doubt. The Canadian gov is certainly more nuanced (sometimes to a fault) with a lot of issues.
I was just pointing out that the Canadian telecoms did this long before the US admin started honking their horn about "Clean Networks TM" and not at all to comply with American [government executive] directives like "if you are freedom loving you'll join us".
