From Wikipedia:

Public Mobile Inc. is a Canadian self-serve, mobile brand which is owned by Telus. Launched on March 18, 2010, Public Mobile was one of several new Canadian cellphone providers that started in 2009–10 after a federal government initiative to encourage competition in the wireless sector.

@Arily4  Public Mobile started out in 2009-10 after the WCC wanted more competition in Canada. Bought by telus in 2013 and launched on the telus network in 2014. It's been saving Canadians money on their mobile phone bills ever since.
