Bell CEO’s mental health dramatically improves after millions of dollars of free advertising


don't care much for sports radio but fuck Bell and the gutter scum telecoms that run this country. making their employees leave behind their livelihood as if their workplace was literally on fire.

Crazy. They just cut-off the show that was going on at the time and told the employees that corporate security would be kicking them out in 30 minutes.

Now 650 and their homerism has the monopoly.


It's so fucking unprofessional how they handled it. Make a hard decision and get rid of the show, fine. They could've at least gave them a warning or some sort. The fact that they just decide to do it on air, last second kind of thing is pretty gutless and fucked up.

Hosts couldn't even say good bye or anything lmao. Fuck Bell. "claims" they care about mental health, then do this bs rofl. How many did they cut?? like 200 jobs? wasnt this shit around for 20 years?? no notice, mid pandemic, gj.


Bell Canada received $122 million dollars from the CEWS program according to a February 8 article in the Toronto Star. Since receiving that government money, Bell has increased their annual dividend payment to shareholders by 5.1 percent and has now laid off hundreds of employees in their media sector. To me and I am sure to many others, this is an unacceptable abuse of the CEWS program. I am calling on you to take action and demand that Bell face consequences for improper use of government assistance. Corporations receiving the CEWS should not be permitted to increase dividends and lay off hundreds of employees. Bell must be held accountable for their actions.

This infuriates me to no end....

They stole OUR money. Don't give these scumbags another dime. Switch providers. I know telecom in general is beyond scummy but at least you are picking the lesser evil if you kick Bell to the curb.

Our moronic government is largely to blame though. This is typical corporate behavior. The money should have been only given with a slough of caveats attached.

These corporate whores only speak money... No other language is relevant to them, so speak with your wallet. It is the only way they will listen.

As an American, I should post the James Franco "first time?" Gif about corporations abusing the public and the government allowing it.

Heh. Pretty much. I mean really..... What do we expect? This is how it almost always plays out.

Even-strength goals against:

Quinn Hughes
- after 16 gm last year | 13
- after 16 gm this year | 26 (increase of 13)

Noah Hanifin
- after 12 games last year | 13
- after 12 games this year | 4 (decrease of 9)

It's oversimplifying it, but the Chris Tanev & Markstrom effect in a nutshell.

Rumblings of a shakeup within the organization, all the radio guys are talking about it.

It may depend on how this series vs the Flames goes.

There's been a lot of excuses regarding the schedule so far. Now we're on a home stand with the games not squished too closely together, so we'll see.

We've been better the last two games but being better than what we were isn't saying much.
