I got an intestinal parasite (Ascaris -https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/ascariasis/index.html) while in University here in Canada. I was minding my business one day, I looked down into the toilet water, and there was a little wormy in my stool. I fished it out and went the ER. The doctor was fascinated cause I don't think they see this so often.
Who knows where I picked it up. The most likely culprit was the dorm cafeteria I was living in. With the open salad bars and the sharing of serving utensils, it is an ideal location to spread some fecal.
The Canadian telecom space is dominated by 3 primary companies -- Telus, Bell, and Rogers. They form an effective oligopoly that is quite detrimental to the Canadian consumer.
In the ISP space, there is a bit more competition. Namely, Shaw provides additional coverage in some regions of the country. However, Rogers wants to buy Shaw. You can imagine how bad that will be for Canadians.
I do wonder what the Rogers outage is about. Ransomeware? State attack? Something stupid? If anything, it shows how we should not have critical infrastructure centralized. Competition between ISPs is important.
