Canada

It's not the only IXP, just the largest.

It's not really any particular problem, I just think it's the sort of thing that's worth being aware of at least. So I pointed it out. I did overhype the headline (should have put the building housing a key part...) but did indicate in the post that they bought the building and not control of TorIX itself and that

While that’s not necessarily an issue, I kinda figured it was at least a little bit notable but I’ve not seen it mentioned aside from an investment context.

It was also an opportunity to highlight Bell's unnecessary sending of traffic through the US which I think should have a higher profile though I'm not a strident nationalist and might actually be sorta okay with it if it was actually legit more efficient or something but it sounds like it's done for business reasons eg. to pressure smaller players into private peering.

I'd like to see infrastructure have a higher profile in general. I really appreciate connectivity, electricity, running water, roads, etc. and thing the investments we make there pay off. But it seems to often fall prey to being easily underfunded in favour of some attention grabbing but ultimately underwhelming pet project calculated to garner votes. Like tech debt being swept under the rug in favour of shiny features.
