    There are lots of ways to get satellites in polar orbits.

    Of course there are, but the customers are mostly not at the poles, so any times the satellites spend at the poles is wasted.

      I suggest you look up the solution that Telesat will use. I’m not involved in that project, but a quick glance shows me that the engineers involved have probably done their homework and have considered the customer base and their needs, including the need to service all regions of the country.
