Q: Canadian Telecoms:

What am I missing here. Three main players in the Canadian market with a government enforced moat. Highest prices in the world.

Services provided: Phone, Cell, Internet - fundamental requirements to participating in today’s society.

Common costs to providers as in the rest of the world, ie towers, cable, switching systems, processing centres.

Why are these Canadian Telecoms not shovelling money? Are they incompetent? Have they become largely bureaucratic and inefficient?

I cannot understand how this business is not thriving. What say you?

Q: Could I get your views on the preferred share part of a couple split share funds, in particular the two above, which recently had new issues. I am not interested in the equity side of the split shares, but the recent preferreds have caught my attention, admittedly from the relatively high yield and the underlying investment being in solid companies. How consistent/sustainable are these dividends and what are the downsides to these stocks?
Thank-you

Q: Relating to ongoing AI buildout. I have exposure to the power generation side through Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN), Duke Energy (DUK), and Constellation Energy (CEG), maybe some overlap here.

Given that I am effectively covered on green power, regulated utilities, and nuclear baseload, what are the best complementary high-yield blue chips in Data Center REITs, midstream energy, or industrial supply chain that would diversify my AI exposure without duplicating my existing utility holdings?" I was thinking
Realty Income for physical space. It has high yield however may not play in that space, but what about DLR for eg to compliment (lower yield however)
