Steve FaguyFrance's DOG & CAT TV has applied to the #CRTC to allow it to be distributed in Canada. The bilingual channel has programming devoted exclusively to dogs and cats, with shows like "Cats Uncovered", "Wonderful World of Puppies", "Dating with Dogs", "Lost Dog, Found Dog" and "Kitten Rescuers"
Union unsurprisingly is against TVA's request to the #CRTC to reduce local programming quota at its Quebec City station https://www.newswire.ca/fr/news-releases/le-scfp-se-porte-a-la-defense-de-la-mission-de-tva-quebec-872544747.html
The #CRTC is mandating all telephone service providers participate in call traceback processes when requested, which would allow the commission to find the source of scam calls https://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2026/2026-52.htm

Canada's telecommunications regulator is calling for applications for Indigenous-led FM radio stations in Ottawa and Toronto. Stations dedicated to Indigenous communities have been absent from both markets since First People’s Radio Incorporated ceased operations in September.

Jean-François Mezei@xavsworld BTW, it is interesting to see #CRTC justify not deploying alerts to 3G with some fuzzy logic.
Real reason: it was AT&T who developped alerting software for HSPA/UMTS and it was seen a proprietary solution that would cost a lot for short period of time since migration to LTE was already underway. And AT&T has signalled it intended to stop supporting it soon.
@xavsworld It was the #CRTC that chose to ONLY use presidential alert and forced it on carriers.

While it doesn't specify "presidential alert", it is the only one defined that cannot be overriden. ( Designed for catastrophic events such as Mars attacking USA).
Image is from is from FCC: (FCC uses "National alerts" instead of "presidential alerts".

@EdwinG The CRTC has been instructed to reduce regulation as longas competition is sufficient. The government has stated that 4 is enough to declare market competitive, so #CRTC complies and even moving to destroy competition in ISP market by having only Bell, Telus, Rogers, Vidoéotrn oligopoly rule the ISP marketplace.
So don't expect regulation on maximum wait time.
