I watched part of his press conference today and could barely get through it because of the annoying partisan flavour he started it with. He should stick to getting his ideas out instead of telling me why I shouldn’t like Carney because he’s not progressive enough. I never got to the point where I heard him talk about this because I turned it off before then. People will generally support this policy. Talk about it. Let policy stand in contrast to Carney.

I may not agree with some of his platform but that is a great idea I could get behind and should get agreement from all parties. Surge or personalized pricing is something government should protect people from.

Is this something that is actually happening? I’ve heard it in the news recently, with general talks about how or if we should ban it, but I am not actually familiar with any actual real-life examples of it happening in Canada.
>NDP Leader Avi Lewis says examples of this can include a parent with a sick baby being charged a higher price for a thermometer or medicine based on internet search history.
Like, this is a generic example, but has this ever actually happened? I’ve never seen a store list a price different on different browsers, incognito, different PCs or PC vs physical location before.

Well supply and demand doesn’t work if there isn’t equal access to information.
Banning would be a lot better for the companies then demanding they inform the market with the capabilities they’ve proven they have by introducing the practice in the first place.
