= Big Four Telecoms of Canada = Big Four is the name colloquially given to the four largest telecommunications companies that dominate the Canadian telecommunications industry. All four companies are fully-integrated providers of broadband internet, mobile communications, and landline telephone services across the country. They consist of Rogers, Bell (Bell Canada), Telus (Telus Communications), and Quebecor.

Historically, the group was referred to as the Big Three, prior to the emergence of Quebecor as a national provider of telecommunications services.

All four companies offer services across the country, with the exception of Quebecor, who does not have dedicated infrastructure in some provinces and/or territories. However, Rogers has traditionally been based out of Ontario, Bell and Quebecor out of Quebec, and Telus out of British Columbia and Alberta. All four companies are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. All four companies mainly operate domestically and have limited international presence. Telecommunications in Canada are regulated under the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

Sports
Eastern Ontario has a rich professional sports scene, largely centred on Ottawa, where two "Big Six" teams currently play - the Ottawa Senators of the NHL, and the Ottawa Redblacks of the CFL, in addition to multiple other additional professional franchises from other leagues, including the PWHL, AHL, CEBL, CPL, and NLL. The history of professional sports in the Ottawa region has long been tumultuous and saw professional franchises leave the city on multiple occastions, including the original Ottawa Senators of the NHL, being founded in 1883 and relocating in 1934, the Ottawa Rough Riders of the CFL, being founded in 1876 and folding in 1996, and the Ottawa Renegades of the CFL, being founded in 2002 and folding in 2008.
