“I am writing in response to this article. While the Star acknowledged that Sarah did not consent in any way to the article, it is important to underscore the extent to which her wishes were disrespected. She and I recognize there is a curious public. We also trust that same public would agree that no young woman should be subject to the unfortunate tactics that were employed to breach her personal privacy.”
I just got helped out by a person named Jazzmine at the Rogers outlet at the Eaton’s Centre.
She was awesome. Don’t lose this person, Rogers.
There. First nice post about Rogers customer service ever.
UPDATE: I posted this too soon. Get this: I needed a Blackberry to replace the old one. Simple. They told me I needed to put a new SIM card in it. Simple? Not for Rogers! I deal with “customer service” about a half-dozen times – I’m listening to their Muzak as I type this – and the idiots have summarily removed service from my iPhone, the old Berry and the new one. They’ve even reassigned my phone number somewhere.
You can’t make this up if you tried. Oh, and I take back everything I said. Rogers sucks.
Timmy and his boys take their no-plan show on the road!
Um, sorry, CBC web heads, but six points is not “significant.”
Margin of error and all that.
Nothing has changed. Nobody has a clear lead. You’re welcome.
I’m very excited to hear that Christy is thinking about running. If they’re going to have a shot at re-election, the BC Liberals need someone who isn’t in the current cabinet – and who is popular. Christy meets both criteria.

VICTORIA – The race to replace B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell heats up significantly Thursday with Education Minister George Abbott officially joining the contest flanked by at least a dozen members of the current Liberal caucus.
Sources close to Health Minister Kevin Falcon and former Liberal cabinet minister Christy Clark say the two political veterans are seriously close to joining Abbott and former Liberal cabinet minister Moira Stilwell…
Sources also said former Liberal cabinet minister Christy Clark, who left politics in 2005 after two terms in the Liberal government, is poised to enter the race, with an announcement expected soon.
Clark is currently working as a CKNW radio hotline host in Vancouver, where many of her daily topics deal with dissecting the mysteries of B.C. politics.
You know, on a day when:
(a) A young girl’s violation at the hands of CATSA is front page news across Canada
(b) Everyone – left/right, Canadian/American – is pissed off, and justifiably so, at CATSA and the TSA, and
(c) It is already known that CATSA and TSA are scrambling to back away from their idiocy
…I’m not sure I’d be all jokey-jokey about it, and coming to the defence of the goons wearing rubber gloves. That doesn’t seem like the smartest strategy, to me.
I mean, the only thing worse than that would be…oh, I don’t know, flip-flopping on the war.
Oh, wait.
The daughter and I were car dancing to this classic on the weekend. I told her it reminds me of federal politics. She looked at me funny.
There’s a real cool club on the other side of town
Where the real cool kids go
To sit around
And talk bad about the other kids
Yeah, it’s a real cool club and you’re
Not part of it
There’s Millie, Pickles and Pattycakes too
And Cubby’s making mean jokes about you
“Ha ha ya little twit!”
Yeah, it’s a real cool club and you’re not part of it
They’re a real cool bunch of die
Fledermausketeers
And they’ll laugh at the Toughskins
Your mom got you from Sears
You dork they’ll never let you in
Cause it’s a real cool club and you’re not part of it
You’re fat and ugly and
An imbecile too
And that’s why they draw funny pictures of you
And talk bad about all the kids
Cause it’s a real cool club and you’re not a part of it
Yeah it’s a real cool club and you’ll never be a part of it
Yeah it’s a real cool club and you’ll never be a part of it
