I live in the US. My carrier is T-Mobile. We pay $70.00/month for 2 numbers. This involves unlimited data and roaming. So when we head to Canada and Orillia for a couple of weeks all data (includes GPS) and roaming are included. Off to Europe same deal. Off to Vietnam next week same deal. just amazed at how much you pay.

I think I had a lot to do with this refusal. At the time I was the research guy for Pat Carney, MP. She was the MP for Vancouver Centre. She was well connected with the media types and asked me to give up my Christmas holidays in Ottawa and do research on the CBC application at the CRTC offices in Hull. In the end it just wasn't financial feasible at that time. 

Very nice comments on Pete McGarvey. He's an Orillia boy as am I and he kept close tabs on me throughout my radio career. When I retired from RCS, Ingrid and Howard Christensen urged me to pay a visit to Pete at his home in Orillia, Bob Bowland was in town that day we so both headed towards Pete's house. As we were getting out of the car I said to Bob this won't take long. Bob's comment was "wanna bet?" Two hours later we left along with autographed copies of his Stephen Leacock books. Pete never let his Toronto radio days get to his head. He was always Pete. A gentle man. 

I would be negligent not to make a comment about  André (even if it forced me to set up an account on the IG Network). During my early days at RCS and pushing Selector across Canada, Montreal was foreign soil, Until I met André. He embodied everything I had heard about Montrealers and he kept his word. As the Bell press release states "with unparalleled vision, passion, and integrity". He had it all. Rest in peace my friend. Your calls to Selector support  are on the wall of fame. You will be missed,
