As if it was possible to have the Canadian telecommunications landscape get more complicated, Angus TeleManagement Group is reporting that Manitoba Telecom Services (MTS) is acquiring Allstream (which used to be AT&T Canada). MTS is 21.7% owned by BCE, which also owns 53.5% of Aliant.

On some level, this is like Eatons buying Simpsons, but through a third party.
