Do you remember that old University “first day” story about the professor that gets in front of the class and says “look to your left, now look to your right. Next year one of you won’t be here”. I’m going to do some forecasting and make a similar statement about the future cellular read more »

This email just landed in my inbox. It’s an appeal to speak up about new cable fees being proposed by the CRTC – ironically, this came from Bell Canada. Of course you see the irony in this email – it’s like the “Pot calling the kettle black” isn’t it ? Bell Canada asking us read more »

I had a very tiny question to ask Bell Canada last week — I mean really trivial. My phone number had changed because of some harassing calls and I was unclear whether this would affect how I paid my Bell bill over the Internet. Easy question. One that you would think is actually fairly common. So I called Custome read more »

Canadians get a deal when mailing a first-class letter at $0.54 + GST. The rate is fair and the service fine. But that seems to be where fairness ends at Canada Post. All other rates are horrendous rip-offs. I’m amazed that there hasn’t been an huge outcry from Tofino to Resolute Bay to Pelee Island to Tele read more »

Hier la compagnie Canwest s’est placé sous la protection de ses créanciers.  Le Chapter 11 canadien en quelque sorte. Je me suis posé la question du pourquoi et du comment pour en arriver à une autre question.  Est-ce que le Canada est trop petit pour autant de médias? Sincèrement je crois que oui.
