  @lorilydialove @TELUS I’d gently hint that you work for a media company and it would suck if they received bad publicity

  @oskeremmie @Bell @TELUS Funny enough the night before last I took a drive up signal hill, parked, picked up my phone and “5G”. Then 2 seconds later it switched back to LTE… thought my phone was on the blink.

  Thanks @TELUS @TELUSsupport for the help. I followed your instructions for call back. You have called back and I have since been on hold for over 30 minutes. Great system you got going there. 👏

  @VOCMNEWS letting @TELUS mobile customers in NL know they likely can NOT receive calls from land-lines this morning. Cell to cell service is working and making outbound calls works. 1-866-558-2273 just rings and no answer, so best to call *611 from your Telus phone for tech supt

  BruBaker (@ToddGBaker) reported 28 minutes ago from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

  @OrussellRussell @SamsungMobile After some troubleshooting I found the issue only appeared while on the cellular network. Put phone into plane mode for a few hours and now phone is back to normal. Must contact Telus.

  @rbrtmllr After 19 years with Bell I finally had enough and turned to Telus. 5 years in and relatively happy with the service

  @__Janesss @benjtravers Why give a blank check to bell Rogers and Telus. They make enough off taxpayers to be forced to improve cell service. Government boondoggle to billion dollar companies

  Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (@RNC_PoliceNL) reported 35 minutes ago from Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

  Please do not use the listed general inquiry number until Telus/Koodo have restored services. Telus and Koodo cell customers can still access the RNC through 911 in case of an emergency. #ThankYou 3/3

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport I pay for unlimited data and despite that, I still can’t get anything to work this morning. I’ve had nothing but trouble since I switched back to Telus. Help!

  Anyone with @TELUS having trouble? Can’t get anything to call out.

  @KarlDHarrison @dawnpassmore @brianlilley What? Get back in your lane. Do you think some outfit, let’s say Telus, wants to use your song in an ad campaign for a product you don’t endorse - so they can? Don’t be stupid. Artists own their music. Venues using the music in the background must be registered with Socan.

  l0wk3y (@L0wk3yC) reported 4 minutes ago

  Telus doesnt hire a single Canadian customer care representative and they only operate in Canada. They profit 1.3b per year. That 1.3b could be used to employ roughly 30,000 Canadians full time for 40,000 a year, roughly another 3,000 if they fired the international employees.

  @Critter_Paths @RebelNewsOnline Oh gosh…ya…I’ve been doing this for 30 years…building switching centers, to central offices/and now Data Centers and supporting/installing/upgrading/planning/budgeting/building these projects and all the “wires” on poles, towers and in holes - all over 🇨🇦. Built networks for Bell, Roger’s, Telus, Cogeco, Videotron, Eastlink, SaskTel, NRBN, NFTC, C3Telecon, Sogetel……I can go on. Here is the scoop on Data Centers. Yes, DC’s take a ton of energy in the form of electricity and some “do” water. Not all are built the same. For context a simple (small) 50,000 square foot DC - can provide service to approximately 30M people globally again on today’s AI standards. This DC, again for example, can create over 3 to 7m in tax revenue per year for any community (and way more for the feds could get some DST from the 🌎. So this DC, for context, sits in a Dollar Store size building……and delivers a huge boost to the locals….to build that they employed over 200 part time and now hire 50 people to manage it daily…the 200 that built this, build the next - a team a crew, and they get way more $ after every gig….talk to me….I fly around talking about this. I think we have a better job to do in communicating the overall business, environment, economic, and social aspects of them….I have work to do….but Canada is cold, has a ton of land, resources, and a ton of access to global fiber connectivity. If not, I’ll install it with all my friends 👍🇨🇦👍

  Here is a summary of annual net income (profit after tax) for the key publicly traded companies discussed previously, focusing on the major telecoms (Rogers, Telus, BCE/Bell) and major banks (RBC, TD, Scotiabank). Figures are in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless noted, drawn from company reports, Statista, Macrotrends, and related filings. Fiscal years typically end December 31 for telecoms and October 31 for banks. Data covers 2019 through the most recent full year available (primarily 2025; partial 2026 data is limited). Note that one-time items (e.g., asset sales, impairments, acquisition gains/losses, tax adjustments) can cause large year-to-year swings. Adjusted/operating figures are often higher and more stable but are not shown here—raw reported net income is used. Telecommunications Rogers Communications (RCI) • 2019: ~$2.04 billion • 2020: ~$1.59 billion • 2021: ~$1.56 billion • 2022: ~$1.68 billion • 2023: ~$0.85 billion • 2024: ~$1.73 billion • 2025: ~$6.9 billion (significantly boosted by gains, including related to MLSE investment revaluation) Telus (TU) (approximate CAD figures; some sources convert to USD) • 2019: ~$1.75 billion • 2020: ~$1.21 billion • 2021: ~$1.66 billion • 2022: ~$1.61–1.62 billion • 2023: ~$0.84–0.99 billion (lower due to various factors) • 2024: ~$0.99–1.11 billion range across reports • 2025: ~$1.11 billion (attributable to common shares in some presentations) BCE Inc. (Bell Canada parent, BCE) • 2019: ~$2.29–2.45 billion range • 2020: ~$1.85–1.86 billion • 2021: ~$2.16–2.31 billion • 2022: ~$2.09–2.25 billion • 2023: ~$1.54–2.33 billion • 2024: ~$0.12–0.38 billion (impacted by impairments and other items) • 2025: ~$6.5 billion (boosted by investment gains, including MLSE-related) Major Banks Banks are larger and more profitable overall. Figures are reported net income (attributable in some cases). Royal Bank of Canada (RBC / RY) • 2019: ~$12.9 billion • 2020: ~$11.4 billion • 2021: ~$16.1 billion • 2022: ~$15.8 billion • 2023: ~$14.6 billion • 2024: ~$16.2 billion • 2025: ~$20.4 billion Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) • 2019: ~$11.7–12.1 billion range (CAD) • 2020: ~$11.9 billion • 2021: ~$14.3 billion • 2022: ~$17.4 billion • 2023: ~$10.6–10.7 billion • 2024: ~$8.8–8.9 billion (impacted by U.S. issues/provisions in some periods) • 2025: ~$20.5 billion (strong recovery) Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank / BNS) • 2019: ~$8.4–8.8 billion • 2020: ~$6.8–6.9 billion • 2021: ~$9.6–10.0 billion • 2022: ~$9.9–10.2 billion • 2023: ~$7.3–7.5 billion • 2024: ~$7.8–7.9 billion • 2025: ~$7.8 billion Quick Notes • Trends: Telecom profits were more volatile, with dips in 2020 (COVID) and some mid-period years due to competition, capital spending, and one-time charges. Banks generally showed recovery and growth post-2020, though TD faced specific U.S.-related pressures in 2023–2024. 2025 was strong for several firms due to operational improvements and gains. • Scale: Banks’ profits are substantially larger than the telecoms’. • Sources & caveats: Drawn from company annual reports, SEDAR+/SEC filings summaries, Statista, and Macrotrends. Exact figures can vary slightly by “attributable to common shareholders,” currency conversion (for USD-reported views), or restatements. Always check the latest official filings for precise audited numbers, as 2026 interim results are still emerging. • Other Big Six banks (BMO, CIBC) follow similar patterns of multi-billion CAD annual profits, with growth in recent years but variability from credit provisions and economic conditions. For the absolute latest quarterly updates or detailed breakdowns (e.g., by segment), refer to the companies’ investor relations pages.

  @EPCOR Why? Are you going to repair my telephone line now? Telus is already on it. I told them to send the bill to you. Your garbage trucks are constantly hitting lower telephone/cable lines in the alley when dumping carts. I see it all the time. I'm positive this isn't the first time

  @JasonOnTheDrums Right, like the consumer cares about that ****. BlackBerry would still be alive. This who buy local non sense so hippies can feel good about where they buy their produce is stupid. Y’all probably bought $100 bucks on amazon this week. The point being, is if u can not produce it less than the competition. Its over. For the same reason Starlink is beating Telus, and SpaceX is growing. Buy local is a facad of foolishness that long term goes no where. Big box stores already won there.

  @fordnation Ontario. • Industry dominance — Groceries: Top 4-5 chains control ~72-80% market share, fueling high food prices (up 30% in 5 years, highest G7 food inflation). Telecom: Big Three (Bell/Rogers/Telus) hold 80-90% wireless market, high bills. Car insurance: Elevated rates in many provinces. • Real estate — Foreign buyer ban extended to Jan 2027, but past offshore/domestic investor activity inflated prices; housing remains unaffordable. • Private colleges — “Diploma mills” exploit international students with misleading promises, poor quality; crackdowns ongoing amid permit caps. • Tax overload — Paycheque deductions, GST/HST on buys, property taxes, embedded in utilities/fuel/bills, plus annual filings — heavy multi-level burden. Other pressures: Soaring cost of living (groceries/utilities/housing), long healthcare waits, big bank fees, productivity stagnation, wage insecurity despite data debates.

  @FrankP9915 @JohnRustad4BC This isn't true. Canada has similar problems as US healthcare does post Covid. Private telecoms have the worst service. Sasktel at least has far superior service and prices to that of Bell, Telus, etc.
