So, some of you may recall I worked for Bell on the home service sales team so please take some notes on how to save. 1st, shop the other options in your area so you can call the household loyalty team to sort out your current Bell situation before you cut them off. Get the best rates from the others and then the "on-going" price after the promo. Those rural have Shaw TV as an option. 2nd, check your TV that you have now (the name on the bill - good, better, best are pre-done channel line ups) and then get online and see the Current programming packages. You can sign up for the 'good' and pay between $4-$7 a channel to add to any package. Some people can survive with basic and 1 or 2 add on channels and cut the bill in a huge way. 3rd, if you are on a "turbo hub" internet plan via the cell towers then the odds are there is no DSL internet from Bell in the area via the phone line. So yeah you are kind of stuck but you can see what the new up to date plans are too and make any changes up or down. If DSL (phone line) internet is there and working then any plan other than a dial-up plan can be changed to a new package NAME and made unlimited. 4th, a trio of services with any brand of home service provider IS the best rates because they have nothing left to sell you so yes you get those 'bundle savings', legit. Now as for WFN, that's not Bell, Rogers, Shaw and others call. The CRTC tell's them what they can and cannot have. Some of it is also a contractual obligation. WFN has been advertising since pre Christmas of the 'name change' and programming changes to come. Lastly, no matter how mad you are or may become while on the phone with a loyalty agent you are planning to cancel and go to company ABC for XYZ$$ unless they can do better. Your call will be MUCH faster and easier the calmer you stay. Trust me... I got $427 back from Cogeco as I called often to report tv and or internet issues. They had zero issue offering me that cash back and the manager that I was dealing with then thanked me many times for not being "an irate caller who's had a LOT of service issues out of my control". So if you are planning to leave ANY providers shop what you can get and cannot get and know the now and then prices as well as any terms and then make the call while nice and calm. Oh and when the auto recording picks up and you press ZERO over and over to get a live person you end up talking to sales who cannot and will not help at all. You will more than likely be put on hold off and on upwards of 15 min before they even make the effort to get you where you need to be. Just so you know... Have a good one and good luck.

very nice man!

Since selling my truck I decided to go back to a manual ice auger. I can pick one up this weekend at Sail for $65 (after tax!) for a NORDIC TELESCOPIC DRILL 6" or ship to my door for $80 (again after tax). No other store in the area comes close to this... Deal end Sunday for those in need...

True

Congrats on the cool gifts and I'd bet the parts are the same as Eskimo

Damn chipmunks... You had a better day than I did... Merry Christmas Mr B

Right back at you and the rest of the crew here. Merry Christmas!

I still have plan B as an option if things don't go well for you.

HAHA, you might end up a bit dizzy from the impact but hey, your call... LoL

It's just a software update. Don't go 4x4'ing if you don't do the update ASAP as the A-B may pop on a stiff bump.

Oh and check your truck for the following: #18-NA-351: Unwanted Deployment of Roof Rail Airbag, Driver and Passenger Lap Pre-tensioner Deployment - (Dec 5, 2018) It's a new one and not all VIN's are affected.

I really like that ZR2 trim package on that truck! Lots of nice looking accessories for it too!

PM me Jimmer if you want me to see if a Lindsay local (Chevy guy) can give you a look over and or hand if you want to put a little $$ in to take a chance.

So your fuel millage was really good then to get to the honey hole from his place! Nice fish and congrats on a new PB

York Electronic's and M.A.S.S. are the two companies my dealership use when an OEM one isn't an option for the install. A 1-way starter will start the car when you are in range. A 2-way will send your key fob a message back to let you know it has started and most of the time a 2-way has a longer range to start. So if you cannot look out and see if said car/truck/suv/van is started then a 2-way is a better option. Labour can be anything from 1 hour to 3 all depending on what it (remote) can do and what the wiring is like to set it up.

That's great to hear! Happy for all of you Mr B.

Enjoy and good luck with the rest of the time there and catching more fish! Keep the pic's coming for those of us waiting on ice...

If he's close and needs warranty work then just maybe. More than likely as I'd say close to 50% our service customers are ex GM in some way and STILL get a discount.

RE: the bold part, nope the industrial area where Fleetwood was is still far from a busy or even used area. I've only lived in Lindsay for 5 years now and zero new there. Even the call center is closing next month cause that site when union and other nordia's are doing well. The 2 or 3 union sites, not so good, more so cause one closed in Lindsay Dec 22... I work at the Chevy dealership in town as a service advisor and since this started I've been asked MANY times a day how things are going to change or going to affect US (town and my dealership) and I give my honest answer till I know more and my answer is this. "You could see it coming for years as I lived in Durham not that far from the plant but it's not just Oshawa that is closing, there are other NA locations too. We here will be just fine"

WOW!

that's a pic from a "I hope to catch a fish day but I didn't so here's what I've got" and yes I've been there. We call them Sunset pic's...

Somethings just get stiff if the breeze get's it just right... NICE FISH TJ!

the person I quoted has retracted the quote so here is to a small glimmer of hope...

Just seen on FB (10:20PM Oct 17/18), he has "been found" so I take those words as a body has been recovered...

BAAAHAHAHAHAHA ??
