With respect to statement that TELUS "acquired" BC TELECOM, see "About TELUS" page re: "merger of equals".

BC Telephone Co [BC Tel], from the time I could remember in the early 1970's [i.e. started paying attention] until it's "privatization" in the late 80’s early 90’s was a provincial Crown corporation – as were most [if not all] provincial telephone monopolies across Canada. Anyone know when BC Tel became a Crown corporation? [I'm thinking during the W.A.C. Bennett years] MelioraCogito (talk) 01:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
