"A new report by CAMP makes the point that, “Canadian farmers are price-takers trapped in the middle of a U-shaped power asymmetry between the companies from which they buy inputs from and the companies to whom they sell their products.” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

Yes, but you know, media consolidation leads to greater synergies, which means more journalists, and more news! That is the biggest lie media companies seeking to merge, like Nexstar and TEGNA, tell regulators.

CBS News lays off 6% - less than had been speculated. CBS News Radio is killed off, to go off air May 22 - the home of Edward R. Murrow and in many ways the origin story of US broadcast news. Memo below from CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski

The FTC’s Meta lawsuit was often framed as an abstract attempt to rein in Big Tech. But in the end, the acquisition’s human cost was obvious — and an example of precisely why antitrust law matters. “Bringing to light that [Supernatural] was a core way for communities to stay healthy shows that there were real stakes here.”

Dynamic pricing has existed for years. Airlines and hotels have used it forever. But Canadians react very differently when prices might change based on who you are, your data, or your browsing behaviour. That is where public skepticism kicks in. Our new research: abacusdata.ca/canadians-are-…

"What appears to trouble people is the idea that prices might be tailored to individual consumers in ways that are invisible, difficult to understand, and potentially exploitative."

Canadians know what's up. "Across the country, Canadians express a strong desire for governments to step in and set rules governing algorithmic pricing practices, with many supporting outright prohibition of certain forms of automated pricing systems." abacusdata.ca/canadians-are-…

Here's how Live Nation (which insists it's not a monopoly) describes its dominance to potential sponsorship/marketing clients.

When we tested videos on these themes, AI-specific populism - messages that address the future impact of AI in bold, populist terms - performed at the top compared with every other topic we've tested in moving voters toward Democrats.

“These clauses can sit in a lease for decades and suddenly block a tenant you never expected... They can cover everything from how many parking spaces a tenant can use to which categories are allowed in a centre.” costar.com/article/214650…

In China, Apple has dropped its app store fees without much fuss. Contrast that with democracies, including the US, where Apple engaged in malicious compliance and drawn-out resistance to changes. As @SarahPerezTC notes, it indicates "how important China is to Apple’s market."

Great move here by the CRTC. Connection / disconnection fees are a constant consumer gripe and make switching plans a pain.
