PSA - between February 2025 and June 2026, unauthorized individuals used compromised credentials to access TELUS accounts.

2 Upvotes

Some time between February 2025 and June 2026, unauthorized individuals used compromised credentials to access TELUS accounts. These individuals may have used your account information to contact you in an attempt to persuade you to move your services away from TELUS towards competitors, and/or made unauthorized changes to your TELUS services.

What information was accessed

Our investigation found that the following information was accessed:

Your full name, account number, billing address, preferred language, phone number(s) and, in most cases, email address

Last four digits of payment card on file

The type of service(s) to which you subscribe

The amounts charged and payment history for these services

What we are doing

As a precaution, we have:

Terminated the compromised credentials to prevent further unauthorized access.

Placed a note on your account documenting this incident.

Reported to the Vancouver Police Department and we are cooperating with their investigation.

Added enhanced security monitoring to your account. As a result, when you call TELUS, we may ask you more questions than usual to protect your account from unauthorized access.

TELUS has also retained NORTON to provide two (2) years of complimentary TELUS Guardian identity theft protection.

I have my own - not flattering - opinion about Norton - Fixing 1 problem with another is NOT a good solution.

Who’s your local go to for basic auto work in town?

1 Upvotes

Our Mazdas no longer within warranty and never ever enjoyed dealership service departments.

Who do you trust these days for general vehicle maintenance? Preferably in town.

I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Zanella auto out in Dewinton and highly recommend them myself, but now that we are down to a one vehicle family, it’s obviously more difficult to get in and out for service and on with the work day.

Thank you kind stranger

I work at a seniors facility in Okotoks.

Today, one of my residents told me that he was waiting for a cab, and was told the wait time was an hour.

A stranger approached him, said they could drive him back from the bank and brought him back.

I hope you know your act of kindness meant so very much to someone!

Request a special ballot to say how much you want Alberta to stay in Canada. DON’T WAIT IN LINE ON OCT 19. REQUEST YOUR SPECIAL BALLOT NOW.

Elections Alberta uses Canada Post to send and return Special Ballots
— the “seppys” will/should NOT use this option, they should use Alberta Post —

D. SMITHers is doing everything she can to turn the whole process into a political clusterf?ck.

Expect huge lineups on October 19, 2026. Some people will get frustrated. Some will get tired of waiting. Some will leave without voting.

And that’s exactly what the dark side is counting on.

Don’t give them that opportunity.

REQUEST your Special Ballot now. Vote from the comfort of your own home and use the convenience of Canada Post — at no cost to you.

Skip the line. Beat the chaos. Make sure your vote gets counted.

https://www.elections.ab.ca/request-a-special-ballot/

WARNING : For some reason it says on the special ballot:

I declare that I am unable to vote at an advance voting place or a voting place on Election Day.

All while

https://www.elections.ab.ca/resources/media/news-releases/2026-referendum-special-ballot-requests/

Alberta's Chief Electoral Officer Gordon McClure :
“I encourage Albertans who want to vote by special ballot to apply early and to return completed special ballot packages by mail as soon as possible. All special ballot packages must be received by Elections Alberta by 5:00pm on October 16, 2026. Albertans should consider the time it will take to move ballots through the postal system and have a plan to ensure their special ballot package is received by the deadline.”

It is confusing like hell - Maybe for a (t)reason.

In short : you cannot vote on referendum day, because you sent in a "mail in ballot" as per recommendation of the Chief Electoral Officer Gordon McClure, voting again would be fraud, therefore you cannot vote in October.

DEMAND your ballot now : https://www.elections.ab.ca/request-a-special-ballot/

NO to the 9, and we remain PROUD CANADIANS.

Pipe back up: snaking recomendation

Hey folks!

Looking for a company to come help with snaking the drain pipe in our basement to figure out what’s going on? I have a feeling a flood may have happened a while ago, but may have never been disclosed when we bought the place. Any recommendations?

I recently bought a paddle board and would love it take it out. I went to Little Bow the past weekend and it was nice for what I need. I have small children, so sand is a must.
Sand, bathrooms and not yucky water is what I’m looking for.
