People talk about it on social media. I have yet to encounter anyone in the wild mentioning it. It’s just one of those things that a small minority latch on to and the internet gives them a loudspeaker.

#5For a long period of time, these companies would not publicly commit to going ahead without Huawei for 5G, and despite pressure from the US (and warnings from CSIS), the Canadian government still has not made an announcement about whether Huawei would be restricted as a supplier.
Many Canadians were frustrated by this, feeling like they didn't want Huawei networks but that they weren't being heard.
It occurs to me now that had any of those steps been taken before reaching a deal with Ericsson, it would have given Ericsson a much stronger bargaining position and they probably could have charged a lot more.
This isn't the first time where I've felt frustrated, unheard, and kept in the dark, only to later realize that there may have been important considerations that I just wasn't aware of.

#6I'm as much a proponent of free trade as the next guy, but I do think there's a strong argument for trying to build and maintaining one's own infrastructure whenever possible, even if it's a bit more expensive. Not just for national security concerns, but because they're big domestic projects and it's nice to have to the talent and knowledge at home.

As the article mentions, Rogers already had a long-standing partnership with Ericsson and was already going ahead with them.

ElectroBoom has a great video that goes in depth about the electromagnetic spectrum, what 'Ionizing Radiation' is, and how EM interacts with humans, and is entertaining enough to keep you watching.

A friend has some great stories of some relatives purchasing these lined coats for when it is rolled out.
