Hey @Rogers could your customer service be worse. I just waited online for 45 minutes to take a phone off my bill, spoke to someone for 10 mins who couldn't help, got transferred and cut off. You're supposed to be a communications company

NHL players should all start taping their stick blades white and writing messages of support to the LGBTQ community on the tape.

No Pride jerseys, no Pride tape.
A horrifying statement about even being in the presence of others.
How badly does the NHL want to exclude and show they don’t in any way care about inclusion?

It’s obscene that two prominent Mayoral candidates are running their campaigns against bike lanes. They are running in favour of tragedy. Sick.

Check out our letter about a car-free High Park! High Park should be a refuge, and a safe place for all to enjoy. It cannot be either of those things when cars are allowed to be driven through it. toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2023… #VisionZeroTO #TransformTO #TODeadlyStreets #BikeTO #WalkTO

Unnecessarily oversized trucks and vehicles are one of the key constraints to cycling in the city for seniors and children. Visibility is so poor from these vehicles that they are a hazard to pedestrian life. And cities are all about pedestrian life. Where is the political leadership on this issue?
