Cue The Violins

Toronto's Gabriela Nagy is a poor little orphan whose plight in life no one understands. And she feels that her hard-luck story should earn her some serious cash. Since, of course, the miserable experience she suffered; losing her marriage, her job, her health, has nothing whatever to do with the choices she made of her own free will, and everything to do with the nefarious interference in her life of a telecommunications company.

Sowing wild oats as a married woman and a mother of two young children is risky business. Particularly when one's husband was not too enamoured of the sordid details, brought to his attention serendipitously (or otherwise, depends on whose point of view is being perceived) that his trusted and loving wife was conducting a hot affair, because of her penchant to constantly contact her lover through a secret cellphone account.

Because she used her maiden name on the account, taken out with Rogers, it can safely be assumed that, absent her married name and the status it revealed, she could, with alacrity, pursue heated bedtime moments. After all, Rogers was 'supposed' to bill her for that set-apart cellphone in her maiden name, and she would intercept those billings. Who might have predicted that Rogers would do her family a favour and 'bundle' additional services her innocent husband had ordered?

Certainly not Mrs. Nagy. Now, she can use her maiden name to her heart's content, since Mr. Nagy took classic umbrage at being horned. Mr. Nagy obviously felt horribly unsettled to discover his wife's infidelity and decided to call it a day. Or, on this case, a failed marriage. It wasn't he, after all, who failed the covenant.

And Mrs. Nagy, having called a 'press conference', claims now that Rogers, whom she blames for her marriage break-up has interfered in other, innocent peoples' lives in a way similar to her own. "I'm not asking for sympathy. I am asking for truth and honesty", she informed those who responded to her newsy invitation.

Although 'impoverished (materially that is, her spiritual, moral impoverishment preceded that newer condition) now, and unemployed, she has created a Facebook group called Citizens Helping Individuals Reform Public Policy (CHIRP). Her number one concerned client is, needless to say, herself.

Truth and honesty will be fulfilled, according to her estimation, by a handover of $600,000 from Rogers in recognition of their vital role in despoiling her vision of her life. She considers this only just, in the interests of fair play, truth and honesty. Virtues she has somehow ignored in her life, and which she now feels inclined to demand of others.

Although how those virtues pertain to poor old Rogers is a mystery.

For their part, Rogers is insistent that it takes customers' privacy very seriously. Nor are they particularly interested in her Facebook group, nor yet again in handing over a cool $600,000 to Ms. Nagy to make her feel better. Better get used to it, Ms. Nagy. Choices have consequences, and you're living those consequences.

CHIRP, CHIRP.
