Surveillance Pricing Debate Heats Up
About this episode
Federal New Democrats motion to ban surveillance pricing, where companies use personal data to set custom prices, was rejected. The practice, which considers browsing history, location, shopping patterns, and demographics, has sparked controversy. Critics argue its corporate greed, while supporters see it as a smart business move. In Ontario, Premier Doug Ford opposes a ban, praising competition as the real price-slasher. Meanwhile, NDP Leader Marit Stiles and interim Liberal boss John Fraser have introduced their own measures to curb these algorithms. The debate is heating up, with leaders clashing on protecting wallets versus business freedom.
