McKay filed a complaint with the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services, an independent organization that helps customers in Canada resolve complaints related to internet and television services. Rogers replied to that complaint in an email, saying McKay didn't have the authority to dispute the account because it wasn't hers.

"The complainant has expressly confirmed that they are not the account holder and are therefore not authorized to submit a complaint on behalf of the account holder," it said.

McKay said that when she tried to dispute her debt with Equifax, one of Canada's largest credit-rating agencies, Rogers told them the account is legitimate and that the debt is hers.

"So, on one hand … they're telling me I don't have any authority to complain about how this is being handled or about the fact that I'm being held responsible for something," she said.

It looks like the Global 6500 is a new/in-development plane, but it's a business jet, which is one of the few things Bombardier seems to do well. Hopefully they won't make a mess of it.

I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.

And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what's the difference, exactly?

What are the chances that Alberta just agreed to an increased industrial carbon tax in exchange for a pipeline that never gets built?

Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis...

Agreed - it's pretty unlikely that you'd be able to prove something like that.

I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it'd be a tough sell.

Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we're talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.

Not a big shock - there have been allegations surrounding the guy for years.

It was certainly the case when I was in school, and that was decades ago.

I think that's pretty universal, and it's been the case for decades.

It's the perfect crime! The feds create a problem with a solution that's under provincial jurisdiction...

Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don't really follow baseball at all, and haven't watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.
