  Why @TELUS & @TELUSsupport do I get charged $400+ a month and the cellular service in my area of New Brunswick is getting worse even though I have a new 17 pro max?

  @icenineleafs @araghougassian how is the reception and is there ability for wifi calling? My daughter was on Freedom last year, but had poor reception at her school, and in other places she frequents (she's a rep hockey player, lots of arenas), where Telus has been great. It's a bit more money ($37/mth) tho

  @govt_corrupt Signed up to new internet provider after Rogers made Shaw turn to **** and it was included in the price. They're just giving cable away now (really it's just a Telus locked android box and "cable" and internet are the same physical wire and digital signals now anyway, it's all the same now) But if it cost anything we wouldn't have gotten it.

  @bears_aware @VoteCanadaCom @TELUS They never even get out of their vehicle at my home even when I send my two dogs out to greet them! 😎

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport 1 hr later no call do had to call in. The frustrating thing is that she didn't want to change anything but Telus is switching boxes, so they force her to upgrade. She told the agent that she's 84 and doesn't understand tech and they told her she'd have to pay to have someone help

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport Is the most frustrating & awful company to deal with. Every other utility allows you to cancel services online. I've been transferred to 3 service reps and on hold for an hour and still cannot cancel. Ridiculous! #telussucks

  @TELUSsupport Why is it so impossible to contact telus? Every time I try report errors in my billing I just get sent to numerous pages to sign in with no help

  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.
