Thank you.Speaking as a self-employed person with a small business, I certainly DO NOT appreciate clients that pay late anywhere near as much as I appreciate clients that pay on time.
As a self-employed person with a small business, I can certainly understand someone being 2 days late, especially if they call and inform me of this, which is what I did.
My point is that Bell has gone from 1.5% per annum to over a flat $3. My concern is what else are they going to gouge us for?
Crappy. However, just get in the habit of paying on time and you won't have the issue again in the future. Better yet, set up automated payments/automated withdrawals or charges directly from your bank account or credit card. Works for me.
I feel you are all missing the point. I normally do pay on time.
My point is about the phone companies, and deregulation. My late fee is only one small example of what is to come.
Actually, there is something... Looking a little closer I noticed a network charge similar to what they throw on Cell phone bills. I've never seen this before:
1 Network Charge $5.95
You see!

Deregulation does nothing for the consumer. Our utilities in Alberta were deregulated about four years back. This month's electricity rate, already at 300% more than pre-deregulation jumped another 50% in a single month. Shoot any politician who even mentions deregulation.
SINC... that's an opinion, frankly, that I never expected to hear from someone of your political...character. Any minute now you'll really throw me for a loop and agree that privatization has highly negative impacts upon society!Deregulation does nothing for the consumer.

now if only we could get SINC to support the nationaliztion of petroleumSINC... that's an opinion, frankly, that I never expected to hear from someone of your political...character.

be still my heart...
Some privatization is fine and improves service, access and price like the privatization of our liquor stores. Government store in Sask. last month for 24 beer was $43. Private store here, same brand, $28.SINC... that's an opinion, frankly, that I never expected to hear from someone of your political...character.

What MD forgets is that if you are among the vast majority of liquor store patrons in this province, the added convenience of privatization is incredible. In our city of 60,000, we used to have two government stores. The line ups were incredible every holiday weekend and at Christmas time, forget trying to get in.
Now with 14 smaller private stores, line ups are a thing of the past. Rarely have I ever even waited in line, but if I did it was only a couple of people in front of me. Our selection of fine wines is far and away superior to the days of government stores as adventurous independent owners have brought the world to our local shelves.
As for those who consume too much and make the stats MD loves to rub in our noses, they will be a proportionate problem in any given province, including, ahem, Ontario.
Bottom line is for the average law abiding, responsible imbibing Albertan, the new system has been a roaring and unqualified success.
But then again, not nearly as perfect as Ontario.
