  @AngelaUnspoken Every 2 years I switch carriers. I was with Telus for 20 years and a new customer pays half the price an existing customer does. So now I rotate every 2 years and get the best deals. Most people nowadays can’t because of the credit check needed that’s why they screw existing customers.

  @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

  @huddy306 @PirasanRotiHead And it's the flanker brands of the big 3...like I'm on public mobile. $35/100gb Canada/us/Mexico...it's the Telus network. Like shopping at no frills Instead of loblaws

  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.

  @bcbluecon Even in Central Coquitlam at my business , y over y we pay more and y over year @telus service gets worse. Multiple dropped calls per week. Dead zones. Ridiculous given what we Canadians pay. Time of emergency I can’t imagine how bad it must be.

  @iPixelGalaxy @TELUS Had some issues with ROGERS myself and I decided to just get a eero gateway and additional pod. If I had the money I would get the Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway and a couple PoE pods. If you have a separate modem or can put the current one in bridge mode, I suggest making your own net
