Sorry for the interruption folks. Our service provider, Telus, is incompetent and provides shoddy support, even for their 'business class' customers.

Users were experiencing difficulties downloading their email and loading web pages on resist.ca from about 2:30PM Friday until 12:00PM Monday. Everything should be back to normal for now.
