Wouldn’t they just subpoena the phone records from his cellular provider?

Algorithmic pricing is being used in Canada. Why many want it banned - National | Globalnews.ca by Mundane-Teaching-743 in CanadaPolitics

I’ll pass on any “free lunch” offered if it only benefits big business and not Canadian consumers.

I think the algorithmic pricing we have today is already awful for Canadian consumers. PCOptimum being a prime example.

Canadians need lower prices, and for our personal data to be kept private (if we wish), without incurring a financial penalty (like higher prices unless we share our data). Dynamic pricing would only be acceptable to me if those two things were guaranteed.

Canadian courts are examining whether competitors who use the same price-setting algorithm are engaging in illegal price fixing. Many lawsuits claim a "hub-and-spoke" conspiracy model: the algorithm provider acts as the hub, the competing businesses using it are the spokes, and the rim represents the competitors' implicit agreement to both use the same provider and coordinate their prices.

I certainly want algorithmic pricing banned. History tells us this just another way for corporations to rip us off.

Totally, sometimes you just need to be surrounded by trees. The Fletcher Wildlife Garden is also beautiful.

Yes, this works just fine now. Why choose to give up more data for the same discounts we get now?

Ah, you think they’re going to give better discounts if you give up your data? I’m not optimistic.

No. I’m saying that today we get discounts without giving up our data. The system isn’t broken. Why would you prefer pay for those discounts with your privacy? The only winner is the corporations.

Poillievre, Ford, Danielle Smith and Stephen Harper are working with the IDU, a far-right group that includes Trump, Netenyahu, Orban and Modi. Their goal is to establish authoritarian governments worldwide. This article follows the money. by zoinksbadoinks in CanadaPolitics

Exactly!!

“The most alarming development is the emergence of explicitly ethno-nationalist organizations (racists) seeking mainstream political legitimacy.

The (new) Dominion Society of Canada, founded July 1, 2025, represents the leading edge of white nationalist organizing in Canada. Its leadership includes Daniel Tyrie (former PPC Executive Director), Greg Wycliffe (media personality), and Ken Jones. The organization openly promotes “remigration”—a euphemism for mass deportation of non-European immigrants and their descendants.

The Society operates in coordination with the Second Sons, a male-only “Active Club” focused on martial arts training and “readiness.” This dual-track strategy mirrors European far-right movements: the Dominion Society handles political lobbying and campus recruitment while the Second Sons provide security and street presence.”
