Great, I fully support this. However, this should be way at the bottom of our priority list. Canadian Telecom, Banks, and News Media should all be wayyy higher on the priority list.
The Bank of Canada even said that one of the largest contributers to Canada's low productivity is the lack of competition present in so many of our industries.
Competition Bureau taking a shot at this seems like they just copy stuff from lawsuits in the U.S. Do they really understand or use terms like "ad tech stack"? I wouldn't trust them to know what they're talking about ... or that their solution of "selling off two of its tools" helps the situation. What competitors are waiting in the wings that aren't also going to employ the same practices?
These worldwide anti-competitive lawsuit and penalty news are getting far too frequent that it makes me wonder if any of it is working at all. Meanwhile, there are some talks about some big impactful interventions. But again, they have remained just that - talks. Am I paranoid to think that these are just diversions with no real consequences? If not, why are we not seeing any improvement on the ground?
The sharks are circling and by "sharks" I mean the same people who lobby the government for link taxes and publish puff pieces on politicians who go after their business rivals.
Next they can sue the Nova Scotia government for abandoning its responsibility to provide maps of Nova Scotia, and now only prints a tourist map
that has a disclaimer on it stating that
any pronblems or inconsistancys, should be taken up with google.
As a non google user I am prevented from
obataining maps for business and pleasure.
And a footnote to history is that the term, "on the map" is purely historical, as there are many busy streets, not on any map.Cartography is no longer an actual proffesion ,including surveying, we are on the cusp of loosing , what are foundation
skills required to run a civilisation, with no debate, a fait complete.

I think Google will be broken up during the next couple of years.
