Absolutely. But Public Mobile is only a SIM. No eSIM. You can have two accounts or one and another account from elsewhere.

Yes, I have a dual sim phone. You would need to select which sim you want to use when making a call or using data.

Phones can support (or not support) dual-SIM.

The SIM cards themselves - along with the operators which issued them - can't do anything to enable or disable other SIM cards in the phone.

Yes, you can use any 2 carriers of your choice with a dual SIM. Which carrier does not matter, they all work.

The phone has to be compatible with the carriers. It it's incompatible then you have to get a different phone. (This isn't an issue anyways unless your phone was intended for non-Canadian markets, your phone is a decade obsolete, or your phone was carrier-locked to only work with one carrier.)

The carriers don't have to be compatible with each other.

@Korth: I was trying to be short inserting as little as I thought necessary for my "fix". Of course the phone has to be compatible to the carrier. The "unfixed" post said any.

I'm uncertain of what you're asking by this. Yes, you can use any compatible phone you wish, including as others have said, dual SIM card devices. However, if you're asking if you're allowed to have 2 different SIM cards with the same phone number, the answer is no.
