Quebecor Inc. is a “smaller player”?

I guess Videotron and Freedom are relatively smaller, but Quebecor is a behemoth.

It owns:

  • Groupe TVA (broadcasting, publishing & production)
  • Canoe Inc. (internet websites including Canoe.ca/Canoe.com portal and Archambault.ca)
  • Vidéotron (cellular, cable television and internet service provider)
  • MediaPages (print and online directories)
  • TVA Publishing Inc. (largest magazine publishing company in Quebec)
  • Quebecor Media Book Group (book publishing companies)
  • Distribution Select (distributor of CDs and videos)
  • Le SuperClub Vidéotron (Movie rental stores)
  • Gestion Studios Bloobuzz S. E. C (a video games publisher)
  • QMI press agency (news agency)

Fair enough. Even so though, consider their respective revenues:

  • Quebecor: $4.5Bn (2022)
  • Telus: $15.3Bn (2020)
  • Rogers: $15.4Bn (2022 - may not include Shaw’s revenue from that year)
  • Bell: $24Bn (2019)

So less than a third of second-last place. In relative terms, that’s a lot smaller.

Informative, still very small compared to Telus who’s now entering healthcare and farming among other things.

Telus has been digging their greasy fingers into healthcare - specifically government-funded, for-profit healthcare - for about a decade now.

Did you know they did the report that said Alberta is owed half of the CPP?
