“Posadzki has written an incisive and compelling melodrama—and an industry primer that ought to be read by anyone who wonders just how Canada’s telecommunications industry works—or doesn’t—and how Canadian public policy and federalism conditions it. From the scourge of dual class shares to regulatory review to board struggles to how physical networks work and beyond, the book moves seamlessly between technical, business, legal and interpersonal details while remaining interesting, informative and accessible. That’s an achievement. . . . [Rogers v. Rogers] will remain a must-read.”
Globe and Mail


Rogers v. Rogers takes you deep inside a Shakespearean saga of unfettered ambition, family rivalry, and boardroom betrayals—a well-reported book that will terrify shareholders and directors.”
—Jacquie McNish, co-author of Losing the Signal: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of BlackBerry

Rogers v. Rogers is a fascinating deep dive into one of Canada’s most influential business families, describing in vivid detail the power struggle that tore it apart. From an infamous ‘butt dial’ to biting social media outbursts, Posadzki’s energetic reporting takes you into the boardrooms, courtrooms and living rooms where family members and their courtiers engaged in high-stakes combat.”
—Gordon Pitts, author of the National Business Book Award winner, Stampede! The Rise of the West and Canada’s New Power Elite

“[Alexandra] Posadzki gives readers a tantalizingly detailed glimpse into how power works in corporate Canada, with ordinary people caught in a web of egos and grievances. You’ll never want to pay your cellphone bill again.”
—Josh O’Kane, bestselling author of Sideways: The City Google Couldn’t Buy
