@Rogers Access to Netflix is impossible via @Rogers. Have to reboot TV every time I try to access the app — that I’m paying for. Don’t ask me to contact online tech support or your YouTube support. Both not helpful—at all.

@rogers I have been online for over 3hr ... and waiting .. trying to get tech support. I then have spent another hour with Roger's tech agent who is trying to convert my credentials from Shaw to Rogers. Unbelievable. Telus here I come!!

As Canada Day comes to a close, I want to recall the hidden history that's been nearly expunged from our national memory. A history of collaboration, co-existence & practical, organic and even faintly glorious traditions of the “reconciliation,” to which we are all now summoned.

@DanBilefsky Amazing piece in the Times. Thank you for bringing back happy memories of working as a labourer for house builders Lawrence, Russel and Elmer Verigin, all of whom worked hard to preserve their culture and language, while helping to make Canada a better place.
