Rogers call service fails again
At the same time, following the historic telecommunications service outage on July 8, Rogers suffered another communication failure on the 24th, resulting in some users being unable to make VoLTE calls.
Since the early morning of the 24th (Sunday), Rogers users have posted on the Internet one after another that they have encountered "interruption problems when making VoLTE calls". Rogers subsequently confirmed the disruption failure incident.
Fortunately, this failure does not affect 3G/4G calls, 911 services and data services.

On Twitter, the topic #rogersoutage about Rogers' service failure has taken to the hot search, and the affected users appear frustrated, expressing their deep dissatisfaction with the inability to make another call:
Online presence includes "My trust in Rogers has disappeared." "I've had enough!" This type of negative message.

In response to a massive telecom outage at the beginning of the month, Rogers had replaced their chief technology officer at the beginning of the week, but now it is now failing again.
It is not possible to transfer customers to Bell or Telus
In addition, Rogers' inability to transfer some of its customers to Bell or Telus has also caused public discontent. During the telecom outage earlier this month, Rogers was unable to swap affected customers into rival carriers Bell or Telus, even though both companies helped.

As a Canadian telecommunications giant, Rogers' inability to shut down its radio access network and connect customers to another carrier to make 911 calls is truly unacceptable.
In response to this on Friday, Rogers claimed that they didn't think competing companies could handle large numbers of customers either. Rogers expects more than 10 million users to be affected at the time.
In addition, Rogers said shutting down the wireless access network would increase the outage. Regarding the need to make an alarm call, Rogers said mobile customers always have the option to remove the SIM card from their phone and dial 911. The phone will automatically connect to the strongest emergency call signal. At present, the number of calls that cannot be called to 911 due to the interruption of Rogers Telecom is still unknown.
Many foods do not pass the authenticity test
In terms of food, the issue of "Canadian food fraud" has recently entered the public eye more deeply. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) test shows that food fraud remains a major problem in Canada. As many as one-third of goods in supermarkets are mislabeled.
A new government report shows that from 2020 to 2021, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted an extensive survey of the five product categories most often mislabeled: olive oil, honey, spices, fish and "other expensive oils", and found that nearly 88 per cent of the olive oil tested met the requirements and the remaining nearly 12 per cent did not. In the past, the industry has been criticized for "extra virgin olive oil" being diluted by cheaper vegetable oils or containing artificial colors.

Nearly 33 percent of the "expensive oils" tested, including sesame, coconut, avocado and grapeseed oils, both imported and from Canadian producers, were found to be non-compliant, noting that expensive oils "run the risk of being replaced and diluted by inferior oils." However, the report does not specify the non-compliance.
In response, Canada's Agriculture Minister Marie Claude-Bibeau said food fraud is an act of deceiving consumers and is "unfair to our agriculture and agribusiness producers," and the government has pledged in 2019 to spend $24 million over five years to address the issue.
From 2020 to 2021, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted authenticity tests on up to 525 food samples. The following is the result of its targeted sampling, showing that the percentage is a passing percentage:
- 88.5% honey
- 91.2% fish
- 87.8% olive oil
- 66.2% Other expensive oils (e.g. sesame oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, almond oil, etc.)
- 92.9% fragrance
