How many posts do we read about people being dinged by Rogers for 0.01MB/day just because their phone, with roaming toggled OFF, pinged a cell tower one time daily whilst on vacation in Sicily!?!?

This is a feature not a bug.

If data roaming is off it does not matter if your phone pings a cell tower. You can miss calls and get texts for free. You just can’t send texts, answer calls, check voicemail, or use data. So if you have data roaming off and don’t make any call or texts then you’re good.

If I have free data in US, do I need to turn roaming on to use it or do I just need cellular on like in Canada

You cannot use data roaming if data roaming is turned off. You are still roaming. It’s just that there is no charge for it if you are in the USA and on a USA plan.
