B.C.'s number one company had another
gold star year. Indeed, since 2009, Telus
has ended every year a little better than
the last, with its stock price having more
than doubled over the past five years. In
the fourth quarter of 2015, Telus added a
net gain of 118,000 contract customers,
beating eastern competitors Bell and
especially Rogers—its primary wireless
competitor—which lost 58,000 custom-
ers over that same period.
