It's not possible to pay with debit card in Canada because Interac is down, because Rogers is down. Many atm across the country aren't working. It's not just Rogers' client who are impacted, the whole banking ecosystem is impacted. Even rumors that Costco can only accept cash, the Capital One Mastercard network might be down. I don't see how Rogers could keep quiet on this, unless it's from some malicious actor.

Indeed, I can easily see them get dragged before a parliamentary inquiry.

  Do those happen before or after the beer drinking with the regulators?

  These seem to occur rarely. Unlike US Senate inquiries, Parliament seems to be less aggressive about these, reserving them for things like indigenous issues. Quite disappointing IMO.

> I don't see how Rogers could keep quiet on this My sweet summer child, you have no seen how meek and docile Canadians are. They'll take a page from the Federal Liberals, spout a bunch of unrelated platitudes and nothingness, and pretend nothing happened. The oligarchs control Canada and the Federal Liberals are just a finger in their hand. There will be no inquiry from regulators - what's more - they'll rubber stamp the Rogers - Shaw merger that's been in the works. If Canadians say anything, Bill C-11 will be ready to squelch them online. If they say anything in person, a quick speech from Trudeau calling them foreign-funded MAGA terrorists will cause the government-funded CBC to produce an article. That article will then be used by the Trudeau Liberals to invoke the Emergency Act once more, then de-bank and trample them.

  I would say if you want to engage in the process of dialogue, don't bring a large cache of firearms with you while blocking an international border crossing. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/coutts-protest-blockade-arrests-rcmp-monday-1.6351112 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/coutts-protest-blocka...

    Which has nothing to do with the ottawa protests? Are we pretending that they suspended the charter because of that single event in manitoba now?

Have you ever seen any similar company give meaningful updates in a situation like this? It is odd they don't have PR people trying to spin it. But I am not surprised in the slightest that there is no technically useful updates happening.

  If you are already the most hated company in Canada, why do you need to bother spinning anything or trying?
