I have never taken money from Bell or Telus. Like most people, I give them my money.
I have already seen that document. I think they identified stakeholders they would seek to co-opt. I met with people from Telus on one occasion, an academic named John Gannon, to discuss a white paper it published about spectrum policy. There was never any exchange of money. This topic of the merger did not come up. I'm 100% independent in the comments I provide today.
I think, if you go through the record of things I've said in public and published, you'll see that it doesn't matter what colour the brand logo is. I generally oppose anti-competitive or unfair behaviour by those companies.
