  $T.TO @TELUS waited until long-time-CEO Darren Entwistle became a non-insider to cut the dividend. He tried RAISING the dividend near the end of his term, despite >100% payout, which was later struck down.

  I follow dividend kings and champions very closely. Today, Telus $TU just cut its dividend by 55%. That move ends a 22-year streak of yearly increases at the second-largest telecom firm in Canada. Shares were down as much as 14% as soon as the news came out. The red flags sat out in the open for some time. The firm carried a weak dividend score of 6.8. Its payout ratio sat at a wild 278%. The yield hit 11%, and anything over 6% already looks risky. Debt forced the issue. Management needed cash, and the dividend was the fastest place to grab it. The company is listed in my International Dividend Champions report. The next update of that list will show the change.

  I think only @koodo @TELUS has the confidence to upgrade a customer from their Basic plan to Premium plan without customer’s explicit request or customer’s knowledge. A thing called ‘Customer experience’ got no meaning 🙁 @CRTCeng

  @StatisticsBC @VIAwesome Fair enough—public debate is healthy. But the core claims driving the marches (water grid drain + waste heat baking the city) still don’t match the actual engineering. These aren’t traditional evaporative data centres. Telus/Westbank designs use closed-loop liquid cooling—a sealed system that recirculates the same fluid, like a car radiator. Result: dramatically lower water use (company target: up to 90% less than conventional air-cooled facilities) and near-zero ongoing evaporation for the primary loop. At 150 W Georgia, the heat isn’t vented to the street. It’s transferred into Creative Energy’s district steam plant to help heat 200+ downtown buildings and cut natural-gas demand. That’s the opposite of “warming the city.” Protests highlight real questions about scale, power, and process. Those deserve scrutiny. Spreading outdated assumptions about water and heat does not. #Vancouver #DataCentres #Sustainability

  @JayGenXer I have another year of a "contract" with @TELUS. I will be cancelling it, paying their bullshit penalty and moving to @Starlink by mid-September. I suggest every Canadian who hates this bill does the same. Once a Musk company offers cellular service, it switches too. I am so done with fascist Canada.

  @lynnmercereau Try to cancel @TELUS You have to lie & say you want to change your plan, then you tell the flunky you are cancelling. It is the only way. Try to find a link for cancellations.

  Northwest B.C. cannot continue to be one cut cable away from losing critical communications. Following yet another widespread telecommunications outage on August 2, reportedly caused by copper cable theft, I have written to the Minister of Citizens’ Services asking what the Province is doing to improve the resilience and reliability of our telecommunications infrastructure. When these outages happen, the consequences go far beyond inconvenience. Residents can lose access to emergency information, businesses can’t process transactions, families can’t communicate, and entire communities can be left without reliable access to essential services. After the major outage in May, my office raised concerns with both TELUS and the Province about the lack of redundancy in Northwest B.C. and asked what was being done to prevent another widespread disruption. Months later, we are still waiting for meaningful answers, and now it has happened again. Copper theft is a growing problem, but whether an outage is caused by theft, wildfire, severe weather or infrastructure failure, our communities should not be left so vulnerable to a single point of failure. I’m asking the Province for clear answers on redundancy, infrastructure investment, emergency connectivity, and what steps are being taken with telecommunications providers to ensure Northwest communities can stay connected when something goes wrong. Reliable telecommunications are essential infrastructure, and Northwest B.C. deserves the same level of reliability and resiliency as the rest of the province.
