  @deliaflower1 You probably got someone in Pakistan. I had to get help from the BBB once before a Canadian Tech from Telus called me and fixed the problem.

  @MarkJCarney The money telus received during covid to support federal surveillance should cover the costs.

  @JakeLandauTO @TDarcyM @taxspendlib That's a very different threat model and I agree 100%. But the Telus sovereign AI is being used in commercial applications (specifically mine, my team gets the weird ****).

  "We are getting to a point where not answering your phone is the safest thing to do" These scam calls are so common, and usually involve the scammers spoofing a local number to help fool the victim. Somehow @TELUS is unable (or unwilling) to do anything about number spoofing 😑

  One of Canada's largest telecom companies just became a real estate developer. And the story behind how is worth paying attention to. Telus owns over 2,300 institutional properties across Canada. Most of them were built decades ago to house copper-based telephone exchange equipment the backbone of the country's phone system. As Telus migrated to fibre optics, that equipment shrank dramatically. Suddenly they had hundreds of well-located properties in the heart of Canadian communities sitting largely empty. So instead of selling, they decided to build. Through an initiative called Telus Living, they are now repurposing and monetizing those former exchange sites into purpose-built rental housing. The company has identified approximately 200 sites for alternative uses. The projected stabilized value of the portfolio could reach up to $3 billion. The execution is already well underway. Their first building in Nanaimo received its occupancy permit at the end of April and began welcoming residents last week. Vancouver's Point Grey is under construction. A further 18 properties are proposed to add over 3,000 homes across BC over the next six years, with plans to expand to Alberta and Quebec. Telus Living could eventually deliver 5,000 to 10,000 units in BC alone. There are a few things that make this story interesting beyond the headlines. First, the locations. These aren't suburban greenfields. They are infill sites in established neighbourhoods, exactly where rental housing demand is highest and new supply is hardest to create. Telus didn't have to find the land. They already owned it. Second, the model. Telus Living could eventually be converted into a REIT, turning a telecom company's real estate liability into a standalone investment vehicle generating long-term rental income. Third, the broader signal. When a company with no background in real estate development looks at its asset base and sees a $3 billion housing opportunity, it tells you something about where value is being created in Canada right now. The housing crisis and shifting technology created an opening. Telus walked through it.

  @MTe005 @unclehaver the enemy of my enemy is my friend. i hate nimby's too, but if we can agree that a massive water and electricity black hole that benefits nobody but the feds and telus sucks, then at least they have a few more functioning neurons than the techbros on twitter defending this ****.

  @windscribecom Don’t worry, they’ll give our pension funds to Telus to replace you with a much worse guaranteed to fail venture

  @MarkJCarney @EvanLSolomon Isn’t Telus in financial trouble? So…this is another government handout?
