> Zhu said it's clear "there is no deal." Instead, she said, these "sales" can be used as a tactic to manipulate customers into thinking they are saving money and to buy now.

(1/) I found a #CBCNews (@cbcnews) article on supposed testing of #truck drivers looking to obtain #Ontario relevant licences (https://x.com/CBCNews/status/1844709539201060925), with just hours ago a video of the #CBCMarketplace episode having been posted to #YouTube (https://youtu.be/vVSs8dSbS-Y?si=Jf_IEpKCbyoaUvP2). Early last year #CityNews #Toronto posted, on its Twitter page, an article that'd featured a video narrated by #carynceolin on so many large trucks having been placed out of service due to brake violations

The system for testing truck drivers in Ontario has been compromised by bribes, forged documents and rigged testing, says a memo leaked to CBC's Marketplace by an industry insider. https://t.co/z5dxIawtIu

CBC's Marketplace took smartphones and laptops to tech repair stores across Ontario — including large chains Best Buy and Mobile Klinik in a snooping test — and found that in more than half of the documented cases, technicians accessed intimate photos and private information not relevant to the repair.

So Canadian Appliance Source damaged my fridge, damaged my floors, a door frame ... And the delivery guys rushed us to "sign for the delivery" which has a waiver buried in it that we didn't see. Scummy. Never again will they get our business. #cbcmarketplace

From the CBC this morning (Jan. 15): the whole story is more than a little worrisome as for-profit colleges are being touted by conservatives as the future of education in Ontario, much as is for profit health care.

“A CBC Marketplace investigation into CDI College, one of Canada's largest for-profit career colleges, has found a pattern of misleading practices being used to pressure would-be students into signing up for online programs that can cost upward of $20,000.”
