LOL Welcome to Canada. Pathetic.

True enough. Such is the mindset of many that provide such a “captive” service. There are very few choices, and most are not the best.

Um, Bell is completely out of touch with reality. Their own career employees have no clue how much people hate that company. Large Canadian communication companies (carriers) are run by complete amateurs.

Not exactly 10 years behind just overly restrictive. Essentially selling your soul (Sympatico) to Microsoft and then letting the iPhone (and anything Apple) drift to others was hardly a way of securing customers. Stocking your product list with cheap iPhone imitations could only last so long.

The Canadian telecom cartel will continue but some competition, however small, will benefit the average customer when it comes to iPhones.

Bell: 10 years behind the times. Not that Rogers is much better.

I’m not a big fan of any of the Canadian cell companies, but competition is a good thing for consumers in Canada. Maybe now it’ll be possible to get a decent data plan for less than $100/month (after taxes, fees, etc) that Rogers wants.

The Nuit Blanche closing of Chapter III was great. The mural was intense!

I’m really sad to have missed this, did anyone make it? Was it any good? Looks like it would have been fantastic. Just had alook at the Nuit Blanche, looks incredible very exciting.

Comment on Finally! Council Approves Deal To End Strike by dorkwarts

Oh and another thing. The strike has completely raped the city of its summer, provided health issues for many people, and turned it into a disgusting pit. The intangible results from dropped cashflows for the city are way more than the greedy bastards that seem to think the jobs actually belong to them. Newsflash: they don’t. Those job positions belong to the City of Toronto. As do the facilities, which picketers seem to have taken place on, got injured on, and were informed by the Toronto Police by, that any injuries on City property, are not covered by the Highway Act. It seems union workers actually own part of the City. No, they are legally, and perceived, as just people with jobs.
