The Canadian government is forcing Rogers, Bell and Telus — the three biggest Canadian cellphone companies — to slash their prices by 25 per cent over the next two years.

If they don’t, the government will “take action with other regulatory tools to further increase competition and help reduce prices.”

Canadian cellphone plan prices have been among the highest in the world. In 2016 that Canadian paid the highest prices for cellphone plans and the third-highest for broadband internet out of eight industrialized countries, including the U.S., U.K., Australia and France.

It’s International Women’s Day on Sunday, part of Women’s History Month.

International Women’s Day was first suggested at a 1910 women’s conference in Copenhagen by activist Clara Zetkin. The first “IWD” was observed in Germany the next year.

It’s a national holiday in China and Russia, where female workers are presented with flowers and gifts.

The theme this year is: I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights. The theme is aligned with UN Women’s new multi generational campaign.

Sportsnet will broadcast the Vegas Golden Knights/Calgary Flames game with an all-female broadcast team starting at 6:30. The broadcast will be produced by a female production team. It will be the first-ever all-female broadcast team for a nationally televised NHL broadcast.

The clocks ‘Spring Forward’ one hour. Most of our computers, phones, and other electronic devices make the change on their own.

The semi-annual clock reset is also touted as a good excuse for “Check Your Batteries Day”, when you test and/or replace smoke alarm batteries.
