  It turns out the two days before the Summerland fire, the Penticton city council demanded Rogers and Telus to update the horrible cell phone coverage. Neither the Eby or Carney govts even bothered to respond. Now there’s 12,000 Summerland residents in Penticton trying to get information on the fire and power outage and evacuation. There’s a massive bottleneck now and getting service is intermittent, at best. Where are the temporary cell towers? Total govt incompetence and mismanagement of the entire situation.

  @TaraArmstrongBC The bean counters and Wildfire operations are married but sleep in different rooms. The ministry is actually one of the poorer agencies of the government and sort of like the US marines there is rarely all the equipment and personell one wants but generally people are gung ho and will always make do. There are some internal skirmishes and rivalries like contract vs ministry firefighters, or between crews but generally it's friendly and all in all BC has one of the most professional and world class wildfire suppression systems. I can say that because I've been doing it for 10 years and have worked with firefighters from a dozen countries and half the provinces and territories. When it comes to finances it's a different world. For example some idiot thought it would be a great idea for Telus (the phone company) to do the ministries payroll, a universally hated arrangement by crews. After all on a slow year there are a thousand firefighters sitting around on base or doing make work projects on the governments dime. Why bother with additional funding, it doesn't buy votes. On a hot year one does what can be done with resources available until a state of emergency is declared and then the money rolls in and the millions flow. Probably costing considerably more than if sufficient crews and equipment were allocated in the first place. I'm not in management but the solution is probably in training and maintaining an additional 1000 ministry firefighters, expansion of the Para program, a few additional air assets and properly funding the type 2 and type 3 contract resources instead of a chronic loss of professional firefighters leaving the profession because there is no work or incentive to stay on a slow year. On a forest management perspective perhaps allowing green belts (natural fire breaks) to grow instead of spraying glyphosate (dries out the forest) for profit, or hiring enough Rangers to police the logging companies to get them to actually stay in line and manage the forests the way they pretend they do. Current logging practice drops water tables. But that's a conversation nobody wants to have

  @Bell You have proved time and again that you don't actually care. The DM's go nowhere, solve nothing, and never escalate things to where they need to be. Pretending to ride in on white horse going "WELL ACTUALLY!" doesn't help. I gave up using Bell in favor of the slightly less horrid Telus, and at least I can get service when I call them. Hell, even that reply sounds like it was AI written. I have zero faith in your company left, and at 41 I hold a long grudge. It would take something significant to change my mind, after the hell you caused me.

  @Rogers You got greedy and claiming GM Place but that wasnt enough you have to overtake Shaw. But what you didnt do was increase your staff to match your accounts accumulation...to the point where, I heard "Sorry, we are too busy to take your call, goodbye" Over and over and over for more than a month. Pssst It's Business 101 to NEVER EVER let that happen. Oh and Ive switched to Telus. Am I one lost customer, or 1 of many? 🤔
