Your mortgage may be from Canadian money in Canadian funds, but your bank can still pull your mortgage anytime. In fact, Canada can take your land too.

Kudos on linking to three Corporate Responsibility Reports. I was sure thinking about how responsible they were when Bell offered me a plan change and neglected to tell me My 5 numbers were no longer national. When I called to ask what was up when I got the bill – I got told it was my problem.

Real responsible behavior.

Go toot your Canadian-owned Pro-CRTC horn to Robelus – Maybe you can get a job with them. You and they are hiding the fact clearly that the service is awful and they consistently “neglect” to inform the customer about complex details that are not available in print anywhere in the forum you’re viewing (Bell customer clan change form online). The ONLY way I could have known is by having multiple browser windows open and reading fine print in the secondary window.

Also, you’re comparing a publicly held company to a privately held company. The fact every detail was placed in the open is disgusting and was used with the clear intent of providing proprietary business info to the incumbents.

What law have they broken? Please show me any charge or judgement that’s come out? Post a link!

Disrespect our citizens? A bunch of money came from a foreign backer and the CRTC has an issue with it. They’re taking their time and donating hours of pay to public causes? When do the Big Three do this?

I’m not attacking them currently, but where do you get off even saying this? This comment doesn’t even have merit.

The video is misleading, and I think it’s poorly done. I don’t think – however – they’re breaking any laws.

The CEO is Canadian, they employ Canadians. The question is and always has been, “Is the fact he got money from overseas OK?”

Get on the topic.

Accusing Globalive of breaking laws? What? Are they selling phones yet? What “law” have they broken?

Both sides are using their information to play dumb consumers either way. Welcome to capitalism.

3 year contracts are a little ridiculous, agreed. I think there should be phone discounts based on your plan for a time span (1 yr @ $60/mo+ for a $400 discount on a phone, etc). That’s a good system based on profit and fair to those who don’t use a phone much or use one a lot.

The reality is some people are riding the Establishment train in true protectionist fashion, or riding the “I want free phones” idea when they should quickly get it that you aren’t going to get free phones every month when you sign up with Wind. lol

Regardless though, 3 year contracts are ridiculous. Americans are mad that they have to sign 2 year contracts. I would much rather just buy a phone from whatever manufacturer I please and then choose a network, and have my monthly rates reflect that. Something like the Koodo tab would be cool too, more of a carrot than stick approach to customer loyalty.

And monthly rates are stupid here. For a ‘student’ plan with essentials and data, it is at least $60 a month. Gah.

To the Rogellus shills, please try to defend these questions (that some may have already asked):

1) How are their rates reasonable at all when we pay more than the rest of the developed AND developing world, while our penetration rate is pathetic?

2) Where is the competition? They offer the exact same rates, give or take a couple bucks.

3) Why do they refuse to sell unlocked phones, again like the rest of the planet?

And to those complaining about WIND’s secrecy regarding plans, use your brain; do you show your hand at the table during a round of Texas Hold ‘Em?
