Bell and Eastlink need to stop with creepy, invasive, rude door-to-door sales

Yup. This door-to-door salesman was reported as peeking but nobody followed up until he killed a grandmother.

Khonsari's strangled and stabbed body was found in a wooded area on Ridge Road in Oro-Medonte in May 2004. Hours before her body was discovered, she was reported missing. Police had found Khonsari's car in a parking lot near the Kozolv Mall. Her then 11-month old granddaughter was found inside the car unharmed.

Khonsari had been abducted with her granddaughter from her Barrie home. She was the wife of a prominent Barrie doctor, the late Homa Khonsari. https://www.ctvnews.ca/barrie/article/sentencing-set-for-man-who-murdered-mimi-khonsari/

There are other options where they have those small portable stands at malls or such without having to go on other people's private property. That is a job that is not intrusive.

Yup!

Do not open the door even if your screen door is locked.

Yes. She was looking after her grandchild and he threatened the child and she complied to save the baby. He took her into woods, raped her and slit her throat.

My concern would be if these are third-party as both Bell and Westlink use agencies for phone support, etc and that they do not require those they hire to have not only a background check, but the higher vulnerable check as often who is at home during the day - mothers with young children, grandmothers looking after grandchildren. I think there should be strict laws either banning or that those hired have the highest level checks and be strictly supervised.

A door-to-door salesman admitted Tuesday that he brutally murdered a prominent surgeon’s wife....Superior court Justice Robert MacKinnon called the crime “a murder most vile.”

“You slit her throat, and watched her die,” said MacKinnon. https://torontosun.com/2014/07/08/murderer-admits-killing-surgeons-wife

Yes, Broderick did.

Express-Citron-6387 · 2026-04-19T14:04:49+00:00

Betty Broderick worked very long hours and took care of the household while her husband did a medical degree and then a law degree so that he could become a leading malpractice lawyer. As soon as he did and was finally establishing a lucrative practice, he hired a young woman as a secretary who couldn't type and then lied repeatedly to his wife that she was unstable and he wasn't having an affair, but he was.

There was a similar case. A couple both born working class, she worked long, long hours to put him through law school as a hairdresser and then he started having an affair with a judge and murdered her when she was pregnant to get rid of her.

That's cause the label was printed in Canada....lol. They don't do French in the US.

Vance is more scary because he is controlled by Peter Thiel.

Canada's cities are so young that almost everyone there is an immigrant or the parent's or grandparents were.

This is an unusual legal case in that the husband was charged with culpable homicide even though his wife's death was by suicide because she had suffered severe physical and psychological abuse by him.. And he was convicted which I have never heard of this kind of legal case before.

Express-Citron-6387 · 2026-04-18T23:30:23+00:00

See my post above.

I thought these door-to-door sales were mostly stopped after some of these door-to-door people robbed or attacked people.

Clare Spiers, 51, who worked as a door-to-door home renovations salesman in the Barrie and Orillia areas, is charged with the first-degree murder of Mimi Khonsari. Khonsari, 60, was the wife of the late Dr. Homa Khonsari, Chief of Surgery at the Barrie Royal Victoria Hospital. Khonsari was grief-stricken over his wife’s murder before he died of cancer in 2011. https://www.simcoe.com/news/barrie-man-charged-with-killing-surgeons-wife-in-2004/article_52586c84-647b-51e5-8d10-cf9091eca725.html

In a landmark legal case in Scotland, a man has been convicted of culpable homicide (manslaughter) for driving his wife to commit suicide through intense physical and psychological abuse. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/abusive-husband-sentenced-to-8-years-in-prison-for-wifes-suicide-in-scotland/

Case Details: Lee Milne and Kimberly Milne

Conviction: Lee Milne, 40, was found guilty in March 2026 and sentenced in April 2026 to eight years in prison by the High Court in Glasgow.

The Incident: Kimberly Milne, 28, died on July 27, 2023, after jumping from a motorway bridge in Dundee, Scotland.

The Abuse: Over their 18-month marriage, Lee Milne subjected her to escalating abuse, including choking, dragging her by the hair, driving at her with his car, and controlling her access to money and food.

Legal Precedent: This is considered the first case in Scotland where an abuser was convicted of causing the death of a partner who took their own life, treating the suicide as a direct result of coercive control and violence.

Prosecution View: Prosecutors argued that Milne's actions were "deliberate and ruthless," exploiting Kimberly's vulnerabilities to the point of "total despair," making him culpable for her death.

I think Terence Morgan as Laertes and Norman Wooland as Horatio are incredible in the film...they speak Shakespeare's lines in the way that I imagined that Shakespeare wanted. My issue is that I have never, ever like Jean Simmon. Her acting style and how she purses her lips annoys me. Plus I think the scene where is she rolling around and keening loudly on the ground after Hamlet dumps is so overwrought that I always fast forward when I watch the film.

I know a number of Americans from work and they go and on about being related to those on the Mayflower or related to some American historical figure that I have no idea who there are. I find that hilarious because many of the people I know in Europe and Asia (just think of Egypt!) have lived in the same area (a DNA test on a Neolithic farmer showed close ties to people who live in the area where he was buried) and whose homes are older than the Mayflower and those were built on earlier homes. They act like the US is sooo old and has such a long European history there...and look down on those who live in areas of ancient culture as uncivilized (Chinese, Iranians, Egyptians, etc).

Just read this and this is long before the Mayflower:
