  How do I get on the “Stop harassing me” list for @TELUS? Your people chose to not accept me as a customer when I wanted to be. I’ve moved on, you should too...

  @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

  @FanMontanaro It's worse. I pay for OneSoccer in my Telus subscription, and they didn't have the game. And even tough I've already paid thru Telus, I need a separate login and subscription on their website.

  @TELUSsupport between August 28 and today I have spoke to at least 8-9 Telus agents to resolve a problem . I’ve had agents diarize to call me back as follow up … nothing . Any other business working like this would be bankrupt. Telus is the worst choice ever a client could make

  Oh for crying out loud! I only watch one channel on @TELUS Optik TV and that channel has been cutting in and out for 2 days. Can you please fix your @CTV feed? Trying to watch @YourMorning is super frustrating.

  Telus needs to simplify their offerings. How much energy and time do they spend making all these complicated packages that are difficult to decipher and that require customers to phone in? A very customer-unfriendly approach.

  @Rogers is happy to string you along for 45 minutes passing you from one rep to another and then hang up on you. No way to reconnect. They want you to give up and not call back. How about I switch to Telus?

  @AngelaUnspoken I only connected the dots recently when my phone crashed and I had to replace it. Started searching for the best mobile phone rates and explored the links: Interesting that there are only Three Major Networks and Subsidiaries in Canada Telus Network Family ◦Telus Mobility: Main carrier providing nationwide 5G coverage. Visit Telus. ◦Koodo Mobile: Mid-tier flanker brand owned by Telus. Visit Koodo. ◦Public Mobile: Value/prepaid brand operating on the Telus network. Bell Network Family ◦Bell Mobility: Major national carrier. Visit Bell. ◦Virgin Plus: Flanker brand offering mobile and-home services. ◦Lucky Mobile: Prepaid discount brand. Rogers Network Family ◦Rogers Wireless: Major national carrier. ◦Fido: Popular flanker brand. ◦Chatr Mobile: Discount brand focused on talk, text, and budget data. One Independent / Regional Network ◦Freedom Mobile: Major regional carrier owned by Quebecor. It looks like Virgin Plus at Bell offers the best plan at the best rates and Koodo at Telus plays a lot of pricing games on customers. So few choices in Canada. Wonder how that happened?

  @MPelletierCIO If she was managing my money, I would redeem my investment. I'm guessing she isn't an actual Telus customer, so is clueless. The problem is the hideous customer service, they would be better if nobody picked up the phone. I cancelled my cable, took weeks.
