Hey @AirCanada maybe it’s time to retire these Mitsubishi planes. We have been on the tarmac for 2 plus hours watching the staff try to get the toilets to work on ac8856. The power doesn’t work in these seats either…#fail

[Neil Desai @Neildesai81]

Hey @AirCanada, you boarded AC696 for an on time departure. We have been sitting on the tarmac for almost 2 hours waiting for ‘paperwork’ and no clear word on when we will take off. What’s the deal?

[Neil Desai @Neildesai81]

3 months in a row that @Rogers added phantom roaming charges to my bill. When @RogersHelps contacted they remove (after making me wait on hold for an hour). How many Canadians miss these charges? Canadians deserve real competition. @CompBureau @CRTCeng @PierrePoilievre

Hey @Bell_Support how is it acceptable for your technicians to park in a laneway (Linda Griffith Ln) and leave for hours? Not answering the phone. I missed an appointment as a result. What do if there was a fire? Cc: @ParkingTPS

[Neil Desai @NeilDesaiCyber]

Great to be back on @CBCNews The Conversation with @zainvelji/@natalie_kalata to talk about revelations that Hasan Minhaj embellished his experiences of racism in his act + the implications. I'm a fan but I hope he'll reflect/change course on his response

Thanks @CIGIonline/@School_GC for having me by to discuss the digital economy + implication for National Security. Innovation/tech has profound implications for both security+prosperity. My message: Greater foresight, structured pub-priv exchange and risk management are required

[OACPOfficial @OACPOfficial]

Always great to listen to @NeilDesaiMF talking tech & #policing! His message on doing social media for results that reach our communities & the right audiences is in point! #OACP2023 #ConnectLeadInspire #OMRON

[Neil Desai @NeilDesaiCyber]

It was an honour to pinch-hit for my friends from @viralnationinc at #OACP2023 to talk about how social media can be transformed from a liability to an asset for police agencies on everything from investigations and intelligence gathering to HR and engaging with the community.

I'm looking forward to moderating this panel at CCI's upcoming Innovation Governance Summit on June 16 in Toronto. https://t.co/ZM63ifg9Ly
