Slim chance that Mint Mobile will come to Canada. The same reason that TextNow SIM can’t be use for free calling and texting WITHOUT the need for wifi to work…Government Regulators! They won’t let TextNow partner up with one of the big 3 companies to use their cell towers.
Even though TextNow is a Canadian company in Ontario.
Good thing I can use my TextNow SIM in the USA and get calls and texts are FREE. But I get free calling and texting on wifi in Canada.

@BKNS27 Ouch, so almost as much as Newfoundland, although they are averages. It's only a couple of cents higher than the average shown for Ontario where I am, fortunately.

Mint is not coming to Canada, they want to , but they can't, or at least it would be a long wait

Mint Mobile isn't any cheaper than PM. Their lowest plan is $15 USD which is about $20 CAD. And on some higher plans PM actually provides better value.

What is crazy that most of the gas are produced in western Canada. Alberta and BC. Almost none produced back east and they have the lowest prices in gas!
That is not fare.
What's even crazier is that Alberta crude flows through BC and is sold for less to China and who knows what other countries.
"The current Trans Mountain Pipeline System, in operation since 1953, spans approximately 1,150 kilometres. It starts in Edmonton, Alberta and terminates on the West Coast of British Columbia in Burnaby."
BUT WAIT there is also now a new pipeline now --2024 --to the coast that will carry even more crude to be sold to other countries.

@BKNS27 BC seems to be the fourth priciest, according to this table by Gas Buddy.
It seems you miss out compared to your neighbouring provinces.

We’re all Canadians and didn’t realize that in the province with the highest unemployment you pay more tax than in the oil rich province.
