Bell does this because they know they can get away with it. With barely any competition - and the other 2 companies act the exact same way - they know that people will be pissed but nobody will change carriers. There was a large bit of med

In Toronto there's a Murdoch Mysteries escape room which has been running for over a year. They've now moved to Casa Loma - an actual Castle in just-out-of-downtown Toronto. A huge hit for fans of the show (and book) series.

Hm, I'm East of Toronto and thought my small town library was closed Sunday and Monday... just checked - no, open 7 days a week. Pleasantly surprised. The small, small, small town north of here though is closed on Sunday.
