Ask Jagmeathead if he is wearing his Rolex today?
why do they get hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies from the taxpayer while their business is doing so well???
I am so happy I don't deal with Bell.
Consumers are upset at their massive profits, while they take services away.
"Low prices?!" Is he kidding?
Their low priced stuff equals crap service.
Probably want to offshore jobs but still collect big dollars from the Canadian Taxpayers
They shouldn’t ever be getting money. The free market decides who wins. Well run business will do well. The federal government has no business talking to this guy, and definitely has no business telling bell how to run their business, and shouldn’t be giving my tax dollars to bell…ever. I love how pickledick goes after the CEO salary, when his own salary goes up, constantly. Carbon tax is crippling this place. Who do these knobs think they are? This is so upsetting.
Jug says that "BCE is making so much money", then why is the Liberal government (with Jug's NDP support) giving them MORE money? lol…
Canada needs more competition. That is a major part of the issue
Mr. Singh loves to pivot and play the part of the “workers ally” and make the NDP out to be the “workers party” but it’s just posturing. When he likes to talk tough to the CEOs at the committee it’s clear he doesn’t understand the private sector.
Hedy Fry has really aged.
Tell jugneet he needs to go back to his own country
You have judgment parents who came here to take advantage of are system have a kid hear so they dont have to leave Canada thats what they did there belives and how things are runied are still values of a Pakistan which are not what Canadians wont me have are own clean way of doing things
Judgment must go
Go back to Pakistan
Shut up Jagmeet! You have zero credibility! You’re a lair and a total fraud!
Wow jagmeet pretending to do his job now. What a leech how mucb have you made off of canadians backing trudeau
Get my tax dollars back from this crook.I want every penny that they've been given in subsidies returned to.Morrow tomorrow
Axe the tax listen to Canadians
We need to let competition in, when all the jobs were in Canada it was ok to protect them, now its not the same anymore, and we need to stop to investing in them.
No one will be fired, no money will be back. It is just a silly political show.
The government spectrum auctions are greedy – this significantly affects cell home rates.
Bell keeps construction companies in business as well.
The next big layoff should be in government especially politicians. 100% useless.
The government paid Bell bonuses with subsidies. Jagmeet should direct his questions to the government subsidies. Dont hate the player, hate the game.
Jag is a bag of wind
Everything Justin does he couldn't do without Jagmeet
It’s not often that I side with Jagmeet, but I do appreciate him taking a stance against corporate greed. ??
Singh is out of his element here.
Stop raising taxes. Stop taising minimum wage. Stop letting inflation run wild. 3 solutions.
You know it is funny how the NDP supported these subsidies with the Liberals and now try to save face by pretending to give a f….too late Singh. This is what the NDP will do when the reality hits about the vaccines, wars, poverty and sunken economy comes out too. They play the devils advocates.
Guy answers questions just like trudeau and singh … What a clown show . A satire, this country is an insult to all pur forebears and those that built this country from nothing . Disgusting state of affairs. This country is closely mimicking an absolute monarchy circa 18th century France. Trash
its not that i think gov. ministers dont deserve a salary in tumultuous times AT ALL but this discourse should ensure these ceos dont end up in jail is all; across industry we must bring an end to the ability of self reclusive attitude and action
Does he have makeup on or is he just embarrassed right the f***
'B'-'E' double fish-hooks CEO telling jagmeet we have the poorest performing economy is like telling an author how bad their book is so poorly written, Jagmeet & Trudeau, the complicit authors of this 'poorest performing economy'
Singh complaining about high prices for consumers while he votes for higher taxes.
Jerckoffmeet asks a question and then doesn’t let the guy answer ?. How about you grill yourself’s for tanking the Canadian economy and making running a business impossible, then you wouldn’t have to wonder why investment is leaving the country ?
Continue to "invest" but didn't want to invest with the millions of profits…
Its not the job of these companies to create employment. A company exsists to make profits and to take care of investors.
If you have an RRSP you are counting on market growth to fuel your retirement . Everyone does , so let's stop being naive .
Mr Singh and Mr Trudeau think that the government should be the backstop in Canadiens lives . We have record debt and a stagnant economy because of these approaches.
Demonizing CEO's makes for great politics and poor policy
Canadian protectionism at it again. Instead of asking why he did it (YOU KNOW WHY, GREED AND LEVERAGE, government didn't side will bell, bell chopped heads) just open the market to foreign competition. We do that to gas and oil anyways.
This company outsources ALL their support workers outside of Canada to the highest level of support. As a customer there are no Bell representatives you can speak to that live in Canada or are Canadian citizens
