That investigation was so well done & exposed Uber’s exploitative business model. Seeing “progressive” political staffers not resist Uber’s political pressure is disheartening. Mitigating political risk for their leaders turns workers away from the NDP & progressive politics.

@GraphicMatt Mayor Chow is right. Municipal, Provincial and Federal governments all have a role in fixing the mess the ride-hailing industry has become, and addressing its manifold impacts on our communities.

At Executive Committee, Mayor Olivia Chow added a recommendation to "initiate a communications and intergovernmental campaign focusing on raising the floor for gig workers." Councillor Brad Bradford, via questions to staff, is arguing this isn't really in the city's jurisdiction.

Councillor Gord Perks asks City Manager Paul Johnson about the various subsidy programs the city offers for low-income people. "There's a strong correlation that says we would have fewer of these subsidy programs if people just had the right wage," says Johnson.
