SeanIt’s alarming but not surprising that greedy corporations will do anything to screw over customers. Best advice comes at the end of this article: spend your points often, don’t hoard them. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/shopping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shopping</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canBiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canBiz</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/pc-optimum-loblaws-rewards-points-locked-out-1.7500303" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/pc-optimum-loblaws-rewards-points-locked-out-1.7500303</a>

Sean<a href="https://mstdn.ca/@senanthic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@senanthic</a> But sadly no longer Canadian-owned. Champion Pet Foods, the parent company, was bought by Mars. For me, a product is only Canadian if it’s made in Canada with primarily <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canadian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canadian</a> ingredients in a Canadian-owned company. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/dogfood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogfood</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canbiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canbiz</a>

SeanWhy in Canada do we continue to allow this? Our governments never prioritize workers.

SeanDo you consider a company as “Canadian” based on its operations in <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> or its ownership? If it’s the former, then you must see Walmart, Home Depot, and McDonald’s as Canadian, while I do not. For me, “Canadian” means Canadian-owned and operated. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canBiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canBiz</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/business" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#business</a>

SeanWhen will our Canadian politicians realize that it’s impossible to negotiate with the orange turd? We cannot work with a bully who refuses to honour agreements in place. History has taught us that there is only one method for dealing with a bully.

SeanHmm, one would think that senior leadership at <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanadaPost</a> would be doing everything they can to woo back customers.

SeanRogers “claims” that this whopping price increase is due to their “significant investment” which of course is total BS. It’s really to pay for upgrades on Rogers family properties in Tru*p’s neighbourhood and cover the costs of board members attending Tru*p rallies. The price increase follows massive staff cuts at <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Shaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shaw</a> since <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Rogers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rogers</a> was allowed to take over despite promises of the opposite. Will the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CRTC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CRTC</a> and competition board take any action? Not likely. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canTV</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canBiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canBiz</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canPoli</a>

"...increasing the monthly service fees, including any applicable channel add-ons, for your Satellite TV services by $12."

SeanRogers just keeps getting worse and worse. It wasn’t enough that our gutless regulators and politicians allowed them to take over Shaw. Job cuts followed despite promises of the contrary.
