Do you hate Ted Rogers

Perhaps Rogers Inc. will set up three numbers so folks can use their cell phones to vote on the issue. Of course, normal text messaging rates will apply!

Not an appropriate poll right now with his frail health.
Do I hate the fact that it's now called Rogers Centre ..yes, it should be called Rogers Skydome, because Skydome is the ultimate name for the way the building was designed..a dome open to the sky.

Everything has a price. Nothing is for free. Fees are just a fact of life. Ted Rogers is a great business man.
dumb ass poll...kick a guy when he's down...should be, what do you like about Rogers.
What I like about Ted is he keeps his business all Canadian. At least your money stays local, employs about what..30,000 canadians, not some India call center.
He rejuvenated the Skydome when the city was letting it deteriorate. Did the same for Bloor and Jarvis.
So what if the name changed...they all changed...does "Air Canada Center" invoke some magical nostalgia for you? no. (I could do with a little less advertising tho.)
He brought the BlueJays home where they belong.
Rogers also sponsors many local events from Tennis to Gay Pride.
We get the latest technology because Ted makes it happen at any cost.
Not from here?...you can probably find some local channels from the homeland on the dial somewhere.
Sure the monthly bill stings, but at least he delivers what he promises.

How can one hate someone one has never even met?
I neither like him, nor do I dislike him. He simply is. It is my choice whether or not to subscribe to his services. If I don't like his services, I can opt not to use them.
Do I think he's a "good guy".
I wouldn't say that. Others have pointed out that he gives to charity. That's good. A person as rich as he is SHOULD give to charities. Give back as it were.
As to the Roger's Centre / Sky Dome debate. I still call it sky dome and so does everyone else.

He is Canada's Ted Turner, leave the man alone! He is a good business man. Not a winney ass liberal. The country could use more men like him! Did not run to another country soon as they make money and become tax doggers! McCains, Stronachs, Black's, Seagram's Distilery!
)I don't hate him, what I do hate is the way the cell phone market is run in Canada and how it holds back our entire economy. The Govt has not been able to introduce sufficent competition, as a result we are stuck with a inferior product at a high price.
His company and his way of doing things are railroadian.
He's been wholly protected as a monopoly and offers consumers little choice and plenty of grief.
His products are crap, and his marketing endlessly uncreative and repetitive. Just hammer the same fucking jingle and dumb ass commercials into people's heads over and over and they'll march to buy your products and be happy when they're fucked.
Some of you don't realize that he hasn't made all this money through creative business, but by convincing the very powerful in this country that if his monopoly is not protected, an American company will come and do it better. This is why he spends so much money on sports and charities and the like--it's good for business and convincing the powers that be that he's the devil we know.
Canadians LOVE monopolies. We are docile sheep who take shit and ask for more. Ted Rogers knows this, which is why he negative optioned (the balls).
I respect what he's done, but I hate his company and that we let him fuck us on what are for most people, essential services. Bell is simply another monopoly, same day different shit.
I was hoping Branson would come in and shake things up, but he doesn't have the traction that monopolies do.

I hate how some people are jealous of other’s success and take an opportunity to kick him when he’s down.
Disgraceful.
I have two Roger’s cell phones. I think I’m probably paying too much but the service has always been rock solid.

Why do you think the productivity of this country is lagging relative to other countrie? These things are productivity tools, and the fact these scumbags are allowed to deprive us of high end services by charging stupid rates, hurts our ENTIRE ECONOMY.
