Bing works fine for me. Telus Fibre, no VPN. Tried on two separate Telus connections and multiple devices and browsers. If Telus was blocking Bing, you wouldn't even get the error message you've had pop up. Since you didn't include the error here, for other users, this is the error:
error on line 1 at column 1: Start tag expected, '<' not found
It's not an uncommon error either in general. Sometimes that can be caused by a browser or even a browser plugin. Other times it can be a bad website update or even website redirects. Bing.ca is a redirect to bing.com/?cc=ca.
Are you getting the issue on just one device, or all? Which browser are you using? Does bing.com work instead?
On Microsoft Answers there is another answer for the same error where the answer is from a Microsoft moderator and it has more things to try.

The error is happening on four devices (two laptops, a tablet, and a phone) and two ISPs (Telus fibre and Telus Mobility). It happens in InPrivate window (with no browser plugins, cache, or cookies). Trying to go directly to bing.com doesn't help.
Thanks for the other link on Microsoft Answers. Someone offered a suggestion, but no solution.
downDetector.ca is not reporting any issues.

I get the URL “bing.com/?cc=ca” on Bell Fibre, so assume it is a redirect.

Bing is back up.
