RIP Ted Rogers

RIP Ted Rogers


Thank you for the 6G data plan, the Buffalo Bills playing in Toronto, and helping the Blue Jays contend for 3rd in the AL East year after year.





you will be missed.

Unquestionably a great man (obviously, as we DID attend the same high school), but generally speaking, I'm amused when people can consider someone a capitalist screwball pig while s/he is alive, and then completely venerate the same person once s/he has died. If we spoke nearly as well of the living as we have a tendency to do of the dead, we'd all be happier in life.

He has done nothing for me personally, so I have no reason to praise him.

i hate the rogers empire and am not a fan of him personally either. I remeber one time my friend and went down to pay him a special visit to dispute/discuss his cable/cell/phone/internet bill that was constantly being over charged and he declined to see us and called security. also had to deal with a ton a bs when my wife delt with them before we got married. also no stop complaints with other friends as well.

F*ck him! no praise or sorrow on this end. As a matter of fact, I think the world may just become a better place!

That's pretty rude.

And how many CEO's of large companies do you actually think would talk to a customer about a billing issue? None.

all of them. if you have a gun and make it past security.

this turkey didn't make it past security.

next time, i hope you're packing j-ski.

CEOs are defintely the people to talk to about a billing issue.

I remember I got a speeding ticket on Finch for 15 over. I went and talk to Jean Chretien who was prime minister at the time, and he worked it all out for me.
