Bell does this because they can and know they can. Even this backlash will eventually dissipate with no lasting effects, and every executive will stay onboard.
And let's not pretend this is a Bell only issue. Systemic discrimination is embedded as part of Canadian culture and is socially accepted...until it goes public at which point everyone plays the outraged moral police for a moment only to slide right back in the accepted systemic discrimination.
We are a society that is told to keep things bottled up in the workplace, as speaking out can be career suicide. You have to deal with the harassment, bullying and discrimination in order to be a 'team player', and eventually you still get fired as your hair was too grey one day or your dress was not adequate.
Just take a look at Danielle Graham's tweet on the day she got wrongfully terminated. She speaks out now, but how many women like her are fired every day as a company's HR scrubs harassments and discrimination complaints under the table with legally vague "business decisions" and "not a fit", and all the legal stuff gets dealt behind closed doors with NDAs and settlements, while the victim must put a fake smile in front of the public that everything is ok?

Quite the contrast. We would not have seen her true story if not for the current backlash, but what about those who were not former employees at Bell and don't have this current social out to speak out?
You can unknowingly be sitting next to someone who they or a spouse may have of be experiencing discrimination, harassment or worse in the workplace. And that's how our progressive social Canadian culture is.
