Thanks,Erin. As a journalist, I feel strongly that I work for the viewer. And I appreciate notes like these as much as any award. @erinislearning #IWorkForTheViewer

I believe as a TV journalist #IWorkForTheViewer. When a police inspector running the scene told me he doesn’t have time to talk to us/the public in 4.4 hours —I told him delegate. Tell us what you can. Or delegate a deputy. That’s transparency.

That’s a wrap! With thanks to cameraman Pat Capati and editor Matt Lowe Friday and to everybody on our news team this year. And my gratitude to our TV and online audiences. Off Saturday on an adventure in the Middle East. Back in April. #IWorkForTheViewer

Generating action: after our @globalnewsto report, the developer’s contractor shot down noisy dirty generator after hours. I went back and checked in person. Story excerpt here, full story on link. #Toronto #IWorkForTheViewer globalnews.ca/video/9549005/…

NEW REPORT Reno gone wrong, why references aren’t always enough. Toronto-based contractor takes $82K, disappears without doing the work (news camera/editor ⁦⁦⁦@tylerthornley⁩ ) #IWorkForTheViewer globalnews.ca/news/9539382/r…

It took some time and effort but we tracked down contractor Todd Miller. His Toronto customer says Miller received $82,000 in deposits but didn’t provide any of the agreed work for that money. The TV story at 6. @globalnewsto #IWorkForTheViewer

Thanks, Phil Rehel for the kind words. And I’m so glad Air Canada gave you back the money in a credit as we reported this story. #IWorkForTheViewer

Important story for every family to see and talk about: my report for ⁦⁦@globalnewsto⁩. Thieves steal money, rob seniors’ confidence Grandparent scam victim speaks out to Global News then gets money back #IWorkForTheViewer globalnews.ca/news/9287989/g…

Thanks to @torontolife for this. There were many excellent Canadian journalists covering the convoy; it was a privilege to report this important story to our audience. Credit to the whole Global News team especially our trusted cameraman @capati_patrick. #IWorkForTheViewer

Like a kidnapper’s call: scammers target Canadian seniors with grandchildren. Criminals rob their money, steal their self-confidence. One woman taken for $10k tells me her story—families should talk about it to protect each other. FRIDAY. @globalnewsto #IWorkForTheViewer

Nearly blind, her phone cut off mistakenly by Rogers for about 9 days, including 911, Joan has her lifeline back. What went wrong and why didn’t Rogers get her re-connected sooner (maybe a loaner) when they gave away her line? Thursday at 5:30/6. @globalnewsto #IWorkForTheViewer

UPCOMING She paid all her bills but this nearly blind GTA senior was left phone-less by Rogers for more than a week. Joan’s life-line was cut off through no fault of her own. A warning for others. Story @globalnewsto 5:30/6 Thursday. #IWorkForTheViewer

If you have a cottage or own any property beware making a call to file a claim: you too could have your insurance cancelled. It happened to the Sisam family. The Chubb president emailed to apologize for the “inconvenience”. Preview here. Full story linked. #IWorkFortheViewer

Two smiling women just stopped me on Queen Street West. They said they follow me on Twitter, appreciate my work and can’t believe how much abuse I (occasionally) get in my job. Thanks for saying hello—and I hope you both see this. 👏#IWorkFortheViewer

I also find this ⁦@TorontoPearson⁩ policy outrageous and wrong. ⁦@joe_warmington⁩ and I were chasing this when the Mississauga barricade story happened. The press, on behalf of viewers-readers, won’t accept this. #IWorkForTheViewer #cdnpoli torontosun.com/news/local-new…

Liz Scanlon tweeted me this morning. I have her story tonight. Her mom, pushed in a wheelchair by an @AirCanada employee at @TorontoPearson, had her leg rammed into a metal detector. Seven stitches. Then her walker didn’t arrive in Lisbon. We are on it. #IWorkFortheViewer

Florence Steele says her husband’s $12,000 life insurance policy with ivari should be paid out. Her husband, Harold, died in April. The company says the form wasn’t filled out accurately. Story here. #IWorkForTheViewer globalnews.ca/news/9088188/i…

With my #ConsumerSOS field team about to expose a contracting scam. #IWorkForTheViewer

Hertz, after we brought it to their attention, has agreed it's not right to bill Paul Miller's wife for the car rental. It was one more issue for the family to worry about. Full refund. #ConsumerSOS #IWorkForTheViewer

Latest plea for help to me. Except I don’t work at CTV...#honestmistake #IWorkForTheViewer

Good news! Sonja Wingard's bag found in Detroit! It was with United Airlines. #reunitedanditfeelssogood #IWorkForTheViewer

BEWARE Guelph realtor @KerryMcCarl sold a house; first, scammers listed it on a website for rent—and asked would-be tenants to give passport info and deposits up-front. In a tight rental market, consumers can make costly mistakes. TV story at 6. @globalnewsto #IWorkForTheViewer

So glad @theyutimes and I could help Sarah Malik get back her $1,000 deposit from Moose Travel (East) after months of hassle. She didn’t travel. The company dallied on the payback endlessly. She got the money a few hours after we pressed the company. Done. #IWorkForTheViewer

Tonight at 6: When #Uber bills you five times for rides you didn't receive. Then, the hassle of getting your money back. How they charge you ahead of time. #IWorkForTheViewer

Again! Tow truck company tows damaged car from parking lot, then body shop won’t release it after driver sees Global News story on their unfavourable track record. #IWorkForTheViewer #ConsumerSOS

Glad @LoblawsON finally did the right thing after story; congrats to Robin Brown, Burlington Volunteer of the Year! 2/2 #IWorkForTheViewer

Thanks to our great @globalnewsto viewers out there. This woman made my day—after our team had a very fulfilling week. #IWorkForTheViewer

People ask if some of my work is dangerous. You decide. This is a consumer whose sleazy contractor asserts Mafia ties. She’wants my help. #IWorkForTheViewer

I also post #ConsumerSOS stories like today’s on my FB page ConsumerSOS. (like it). With full credits to my crews—my backbone. Good news on this one: Shirley’s contract cancelled. She keeps the smoke alarms. Read here. facebook.com/19519855382596… #IWorkForTheViewer

I love hyper-loyal viewers! Like my dear and only sister, @ArtsAficionado. She watches Toronto-centric news in Calgary —which is anathema to most Albertans (I was born/raised in #YYC). More people like Tara O’Shea, I say! Watch Global everywhere. #IWorkForTheViewer

In fact, in the last few months, I get more than 100 consumer complaints, pleas for help every week. Lots of need. #IWorkForTheViewer

“Be approachable”. I saw this on one of the elevator doors at HQ the other day when I stopped by. Thought back to the recent convoy story and smiled. Approachable was not really a choice, actually. #IWorkForTheViewer

Travelled to Flinton, ON near Tweed. Tuesday: when an auto company quarantines your brand-new but undriveable vehicle. Why? Because you’re a front-line health care worker. Do they help? Provide a loaner? No. A caution on @globalnewsto at 5:30 ET. #IWorkForTheViewer #COVIDー19
