Words of the day at #CRTC hearing: "Regulatory Salad" courtesy Bells JDaniels!

At #CRTC hearing PKP divides the room between old and new by reminding some of us about dialup and what that was like.

At #CRTC TekSavvy says they have lost over 100,000 customers due to regulatory issues.

Hearing comes to close. CRTCeng chair notes three key themes. Affordability. Competition is vital. Finding Balance.

Me about to come home from a week on the road and after the last three crazy weeks is over. Long weekend here I come…

Huge SCC ruling: “If s. 8 of the Charter is to meaningfully protect the online privacy of Cdns in today’s overwhelmingly digital world it must protect their IP addresses. An IP address is the crucial link between an Internet user and their online activity“ x.com/SCC_eng/status…

Kudos to Air Canada for putting mocktails in the lounge. Hopefully on board options soon for those off the sauce? May I suggest Partake Brewing?

Proof Rogers isn't happy until you are unhappy. An agent had to redo my plan to allow me to port properly. This caused the eSim to invalidate and I had to visit a store. Which demanded,,, 10 dollars to "fix" their issue. Manager was firm she didn't care. Silly.

So my SIM saga did get a call from Rogers. Chap was very friendly and did in fairness offer me my $10 back. I did not accept that because I still fundamentally disagree their policy should be to charge for this. Apparently they will come back to me.

Banks are weird. Every time they call me they tend to tell me they are recording the call. I always immediately say I am fine with that as long as they know I will record as well. Every time they tell me that isn't allowed. The interaction ends. How is that fair?

Spot on.

While on a YouTube spiral ended up listening to the live LINKIN PARK show introducing their new lead singer Emily Armstrong. While trying to judge the fit (amazing chops and haunting voice for a sing/shout role) I forgot how many excellent songs this band had!

Lined up for my last McCord Travel booked trip. Travel will never be the same without McCord Magic. Thanks for all the miracles sir! IYTYT.

Seeing lots of recovery from Bell Outage this morning. Not full yet but a large swath now showing traffic.
