Thank you @NavdeepSBains and your team for the productive meeting earlier this week. We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us about important issues facing independent communications providers so early on in your mandate.

New for 2020, we will highlight the great work our members are doing across Canada. This week meet @Execulink.

Thank you @Execulink for providing essential communications services to Southwestern Ontarians at an affordable price and helping them stay connected.

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends. @ACAConnects @MATTatACA We hope you enjoy the turkey and gravy with your family and friends.

We look forward to continuing to work with @NavdeepSBains and his team at @ISED_CA to make essential communications services accessible to all Canadians regardless of where they live.

[Canadian Communication Systems Alliance @ccsaonline]

Congratulations @MaryamMonsef on your new role as the Minister of Rural Economic Development. Our members know rural Canadians deserve the same quality service as the rest of Canada & look forward to working with you to make communications services more accessible & reliable.

[Canadian Communication Systems Alliance @ccsaonline]

A warm welcome to the new #Cabinet that was unveiled yesterday @CanadianPM. We look forward to working with you to facilitate better communications services for rural and remote Canadians. #Cdnpoli

ON Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation & Trade, @VictorFedeli, speaking at the Rural Broadband Conference in North Bay, says “We must address the uneven playing field for broadband access in rural communities ...To be disconnected is to be disadvantaged." #onpoli

We are proud to support the inaugural #Rural and #Remote Broadband Conference. Glad we have the opportunity to discuss such important issues surrounding communications services. #cdnpoli

[Canadian Communication Systems Alliance @ccsaonline]

Today Canada's first #Rural and #Remote Broadband Conference starts in North Bay, ON. We're excited to have meaningful discussions on essential communications services and hear from all the great speakers including our own @JayThomsonCCSA.

[Allan Thompson @ProfAllan]

Great meeting this morning with representatives of two of Huron-Bruce’s telecommunications firms, Angela Lawrence, general manager of Hay Communications, and Glenn Grubb, of Hurontel. We met at the Hay Communications headquarters, in Zurich, to discuss rural broadband access.

[Canadian Communication Systems Alliance @ccsaonline]

We ask that the next Government take action to support broadband expansion and affordability by making the @CRTCeng the single regulator for all poles. We need to rein in the cost of hydro poles to make essential communications services affordable for rural Canadians. #elxn43

[Canadian Communication Systems Alliance @ccsaonline]

Many more dollars are needed to ensure all Canadians are connected. We recommend that the next Government #elxn43 increase its commitment to spending $6.5 billion to support rural broadband. This estimated expenditure should allow for ALL Canadians to access 50/10 Mbps. #cdnpoli

[Canadian Communication Systems Alliance @ccsaonline]

Thank you to all of our members, sponsors, vendors and special guests who came to our conference last week. It was wonderful to interact with all of you and discuss such important issues. And again, we would like to congratulate all of the @tunedincda award winners.

Replication of the retransmission consent regime in Canada would have dire consequences for Canada’s regulated broadcasting system, BDU, who deliver television programming to Canadians and, most of all, to Canadian consumers.
