Ed Daley is a happy man. Six weeks without his leaky van and told to pay another $1,000, Robert Bartram of Barron Transmission steps in and fixes it for free. The original shop also pays back for its repair. Here’s what Ed told cameraman @canuckcam and me. #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
“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
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
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

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
#ConsumerSOS warning: the contractor had references, he had previously done good work. Then he made off with $82,000 in deposits leaving a Toronto man and his partner paying much more to get the work finished. I spent several days tracking down Todd Miller. Story Thursday. 👇
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/…
We went to Orangeville and met Jamie-Lee Higginson and her mom. Wednesday: what a Hyundai dealer did when a car, in for repair, had the catalytic converter stolen. A story about responsibility—what may happen if your vehicle is targeted. #IWorkForTheViewer @canuckcam @primpickins
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

The retired Toronto couple, in their 80s, got a 5 a.m. phone call from a cousin advising them that their modest, old-fashioned family cottage in Bracebridge, Ont., was ablaze.
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

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
This morning, I received a text from my mom that none of their luggage showed up. So. My 80 and 79 yo parents are in Lisbon, without my mom’s mobility devices, likely not having had any sleep for 48 hrs at this point.
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
BREAKING NEWS: #PSA SOS #SeanOShea still the man to uncover scam. Journalist flip the script on consumerism for truth seekers #IWorkForTheViewer public relations #JournalismMatters fostering legacy #PlannedGiving longevity #bizlaw #corpgov #onlocation #cdnmedia #retailtherapy #CX
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…
Great work! @ConsumerSOS can chalk up another win. AVIVA tried to pull a fast one and was caught out. #IWorkForTheViewer
Tonight: full $1900 refund for Maria, a recent widow, 24 hours after I stepped in. Big insurance company took money from her bank account for 16 months after she sold her husband’s car and cancelled policy. Even their ombudsman refused help. You’re welcome!#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.
I think I was asked to leave the protest area—as a reporter—more frequently and forcefully than most of the protesters on Sunday. Not complaining…just observing. And we were working…not camping out on the roadway near the Ambassador Bridge. #IWorkForTheViewer
Global News is in the right place at the right time. I was the last reporter to leave. They threaten to arrest me. No need for that. Thanks for the ice warning from the one officer.

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…
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
Thank you so much for your integrity and reporting. I appreciate your voice more than any others and especially in these difficult dark times where it looks like media is becoming owned by corporate/oligarchs, your authenticity is a lifeline.

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

It was like a hostage phone call you see in movies. The man who rang Ilene Lawson’s landline had her full attention as soon as she answered.
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
He's long been one of the most influential people in our @GlobalNews newsroom, and now, according to @TorontoLife, Sean O'Shea (aka @ConsumerSOS) is one of the most influential people in Toronto. Congrats on the honour Sean!

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
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

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

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

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
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
