I looked it up
Surveillance pricing is a form of dynamic pricing where a consumer's personal data and behavior is used to determine their willingness to pay.
Stop. Voting. For. People. Like. This.
There are no good conservatives or liberals, the NDP needs to exploit this gap and pick up the damn ball.
Ford said that would run contrary to a free market.
“There’s no better way of letting people get lower costs on no matter if it’s cars or homes or groceries, than competition”
Nothing like a good old price-fixing scheme between friendly oligarchs to really affirm the spirit of competition.
I've met 7th graders with a better understanding of economics.
Most people believe the myth of free market competition. The PCs thrive on this lie, then let monopolies rule everything.
Ditto the liberals.
It may not be that he doesn't understand. It may be that he's not working for us.
Someone should tell him the city-run stores would compete with the rest.
....speaking of people that need to go, ol' Dougie's time needs to wind down
I mean, we all KNEW he was a crook, but then he handled Trump's attacks on Canada pretty well I will grudgingly admit, AND he even told PP to get fukt...
Daddy Carney is here now, so time to clean house of the trash
Wtf is that last line...just because we fully lost our shit in the US doesn't mean Canada should go full fucking maga too.
Carney isn't maga, what is wrong with people on this page??
Worshipping a leader is a MAGA thing.
oh i see, you were just telling the other guy to chill out. mb

🥾😋
Ontario has had a couple of chances to get rid of him...
Maybe next time they'll actually do it.
How that fucker is still in office absolutely wrecks my brain
A 45% voter turnout which followed a 41% turnout will do that. Here in Montréal we elected an ex-Liberal piece of shit mayor because the turnout was only 36%.
It is, quite frankly, our fault. This isn’t the US, we have good options readily available, so anyone who doesn’t vote but complains should be automatically signed up to get their fucking teeth kicked in.

They will when Alberta votes out the UCP.
And when giraffes can fly.
I voted NDP for both provincial and federal. Should I switch my vote to Liberal? When I was waiting to vote in the federal polls, someone told me they were voting liberal, but voted conservative in the Ontario polls....
Ontario doesn't vote. We're as bad as the USA.
“That is what we believe in. That’s a capitalist society, a market. The other one is socialism. Socialism does not work. You go around and dictating and overseeing every single price, no. If there’s collusion on pricing, I’ll go after them and tear them to shreds, but nothing beats a free market.”
One thing I keep noticing about right-wing thinking is that it tends to be very coarse-grained, black and white, with no subtlety or shades of grey. It's either all or nothing. But reality is never all or nothing, it's always shades of grey, ambiguous and complex. Look at how conservatives talk about any topic - vaccines or immigration or science funding or transgender health care or climate change - and you'll find this tendency for unrealistic all-or-nothing crudeness.
That and also it’s just a collection of dumb ideologies for dumb people. “Socialism doesn’t work” falls apart the second you know anything and there are so many examples of it being better for everyone. They’re championing capitalism which has been shown time and again to not work for anyone but the ultra rich(those for whom it was designed).
I mean I'm no capitalist, but even his argument for capitalism here is bullshit. The only world where surveillance pricing is sensible (from a free market capitalist POV) is where you make an argument for surveillance perfecting market actors' information to achieve a better equilibrium. But that just isn't true, because with surveillance you have perfect information on behalf of the seller but wildly imperfect knowledge and lock-in on behalf of the buyer.
It's really amazing this talent Doug Ford has to be absolutely wrong about every single thing.
