Canadian mobile is so expensive that it actually isn't a huge markup if you only use mobile data lightly.

I am curtusing a Bell "tablet" pay as you go plan and IIRC if I use under a GiB a month an internal roaming SIM would be cheaper. Plus it was measured by MiB instead of huge jumps like 1/2GiB, 1GiB, 2GiB, 5GiB, 10GiB. For these days where I am still almost always at home with WiFi I would have saved a decent bit of money.

The main reason I didn't take this option is because almost all of the providers tunnel their traffic yo some other country where their headquarters are. So the performance isn't necessary great. And even if they don't you usually get a foreign IP which results in blocks and wrong languages for many sites.
