@CanRevAgency It now seems IMPOSSIBLE to reach an agent on the phone. I need help. What do you suggest? Every attempt results in "An agent is not available to assist you at this time.” You used to have a call-back service. Why is that no longer active?

What’s up with your on board wifi, @VIA_Rail? I’m traveling with a colleague in business class today. The Wi-Fi is not working and one of your staff just informed us that it’s been a problem for two weeks. No warning at time of booking? No discount? Not cool.

@AMBERAlertONT I’m very glad she was found. Would you PLEASE stop the alerts that continue to pop up in my home, every two minutes for the past hour.

@CanRevAgency @mclaudebibeau All day, it has been impossible to talk to someone at CRA, despite multiple tries. This has been the message each time I've called: "All are agents are currently busy, and our agent queues are full." How is this acceptable? #epicfail

I was scheduled to give an International Women’s Day #IWD talk at law firm @_Davies_ on March 7 about gender apartheid. 🔴 Last night, employees at the law firm, whom I don’t know, reached out to say how disappointed they were that the talk was cancelled; I didn’t know it was. 🔴 Today, I reached out to Davies, Ward Phillips & Vineberg to ask what was going on. I was told it was cancelled over “internal issues.” 🔴 Here’s the note their staff received: “Due to new information raised with our D&l team regarding the invited guest, we will have to cancel this session.” 🔴They have yet to give me an explanation.

It was a shock to so many of us that the Liberals renewed Tait’s term as @PresidentCBCRC. She’s completely inept, and has no spine. The CBC deserves a leader who not only understands public broadcasting, but openly fights for it. That’s JOB ONE. @PascaleStOnge_
Gillian Findlay@GillianCBCfifth

wow, hard to imagine anything more tone deaf! An obvious question and still she can't deliver an acceptable answer. #cbc has survived plenty of incompetence before, mostly thanks to hard work and dedication of staff. Hard to see how it survives this lot. #CatherineTate

During my many years as a CBC journalist, I saw the chilling effect of Dishonest Reporting. People asked me repeatedly why the CBC wasn’t telling both sides of the Israel/Palestine story. This was why. Its very name is a joke. This group has NOTHING to do with honesty.

Oh, I’ll fix this for you… After Dishonest Reporting Canada launched yet another campaign of harassment of a responsible, smart, gutsy journalist, it’s entered stage two: summoning uninformed, ignorant comments from its supporters. In other words, business as usual.

After HRC intervening, @CBCNews' @SMohyeddin has been sensitized by senior editors about her publishing a misleading anti-Israel tweet that depicted the @IDF unjustly detaining a #Palestinian, when in fact, she was arrested for inciting #terrorism. 👇 honestreporting.ca/after-publishi…
