Its not your phone. Shaw purposely manages the wireless signal strength on their AP's so that the signal doesn't go beyond the premises of the business/area they installed at.
It's actually kind of annoying because sometimes my phones Wi-Fi will automatically connect to an AP if it can manage to get 1 bar. Then I'll get confused on why my data isn't working only to notice that I'm now on a unstable Wi-Fi connection. This also happens when I'm driving and stopped at a traffic light. The smart Wi-Fi capabilities on the phone also don't really do a good job switching between mobile data and Wi-Fi. I'm using the Note 8 but also experienced the same with the Nexus 6P.
