CBC: Rogers customers call contracts misleading as fee for TV boxes goes up $7/month
When Cathy Cooper signed a contract with Rogers Communications four months ago, she says a sales rep told her the monthly price for TV and internet service was guaranteed for two years.
So she was shocked to see her monthly bill increase just three months later, and called the telco giant to find out what was going on.
That’s when she learned that the TV boxes in her house were going up $7 apiece, except for one which would still be included in her monthly package.
Cooper had six TV boxes, because her grown children and a grandchild live at home with her.

CBC: Winner of 2024 B.C. election may not be known for another week
Based on preliminary results, CBC News has not projected the winners of 11 ridings — with the NDP leading in six of those, and the Conservatives in five.
Two of those ridings will be subject to an automatic recount — which happens in any district where the margin of victory is 100 votes or less. Parties can also request a recount in close ridings.
The guaranteed recounts will occur in Juan de Fuca-Malahat, which the NDP is leading by 23 votes, and Surrey City Centre, which the NDP is leading by 96 votes.
The winners of those recounts will be determined during the final counting period between Oct. 26 and 28, according to Elections B.C.
WashPo: No, McDonald’s didn’t confirm Trump’s baseless claim about Kamala Harris
In a message to employees obtained by The Washington Post, the fast-food giant made clear that it isn’t saying what Trump says it’s saying.

But what 2024 is experiencing is very much not a typical presidential campaign. And so Vice President Kamala Harris’s mention of having worked at a California McDonald’s in the summer of 1983 led directly to the unexpected sight of former president Donald Trumpstanding in the drive-through window of a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania, pretending to fill orders for pretend customers
TorStar: Ford’s bill to limit bike lanes will ‘review’ existing ones
In a salvo at Toronto, Ford’s Progressive Conservatives hint at the end of bike lanes on Yonge and Bloor streets and Eglinton and University avenues.
What a doughead!
TorStar: Ontario appoints Dr. Jane Philpott to lead primary care team
In the face of mounting criticism over a worsening shortage of family doctors, Premier Doug Ford‘s government is turning to Queen’s University medical school director Dr. Jane Philpott to solve the problem.
The former federal Liberal health minister will head a “primary care action team” aimed at connecting every Ontarian to a family doctor within five years. Her appointment takes effect Dec. 1.
Philpott’s challenge is massive: 2.5 million Ontarians do not have a primary-care physician, a number that is expected to top four million in the next couple of years as the province grows and aging family doctors retire.

Meanwhile, a switch to a new supplier last month has left home-care patients under the Ontario Health atHome agency without basics like gauze and bandages — or even painkillers and sedatives — for the past month.

Opposition parties signalled they will pressure the government on health care this fall with Ford seemingly more concerned about bike lanes, building a tunnel under Highway 401 and spending as much as $1 billion to get beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks into convenience stores a year earlier than planned.
