, along with the sale of Shaw’s Freedom Mobile wireless business to Quebecor Inc. subsidiary Videotron. Court filings and government hearings have pulled back the curtain on “Project Fox” – as in fox in the henhouse – Telus’s name for its aggressive campaign to keep Rogers and Quebecor out of its home turf in British Columbia and Alberta.
Telus documents disclosed during court hearings this fall show the Vancouver-based company’s tactics ranged from writing NDP leader Jagmeet Singh’s speaking notes against the deals to mobilizing opposition from western alienation activists and “meme factories” such as Canada Proud. During Wednesday’s session, rival telecom executives painted Mr. Entwistle as a puppet master, pulling the strings of executives such as Globealive Inc. chair Anthony Lacavera. In May, Telus and Globealive struck a network sharing agreement as part of Mr. Lacavera’s unsuccessful attempt to engage Rogers in talks to acquire Freedom, which he founded in 2008 and left in 2016.
