It's inspiring to see good municipal broadband in the US. I wish this was more common here in Canada. To me it make sense that a city owns and operate critical infrastructure such as this.
in some sense, this is even better in the US, as First Amendment applies to governments, they shouldn't be able to censor your communications.

There are actually not many barriers to municipal broadband in Canada (yet). Your city just has to commit to it and execute on the plan. It is admittedly easier to do in small, dense cities than in cities with sprawling suburbs.
