@TELUSsupport Mobile service in Kitchener is unusable

[Ian McDonald @imcdonald]

[Anthony Lacavera @AnthonyLacavera]

Today’s outage illustrates the need for more independent competition that will drive more network investment so outages are far less likely.

Alarm bells are ringing LOUDLY. There are warning notices for ED closures in Haliburton Highlands, and Halifax which are upcoming travel plans.

Corporate buyers have been pushing Canadians out of affordable homes for too long. We need a housing market that is built around the needs of Canadians – not a playground for deep-pocketed corporate investors.
