E02: Where are we now? The Canadian Competition Act, Bureau, and Tribunal

Show Notes

E02: In this episode I explore where we are right now with our Canadian Competition Policy. I look at 3 areas: the Competition Act, the Competition Bureau, and the Competition Tribunal. I try to identify the role each plays in enforcing our Canadian Competition Policy. Come for that clarification, stay for the Lenny Brisco and Jack McCoy analogies.

What is Monopolies Killed My Hometown?

Do you wonder why small towns, small businesses and people seem to be falling behind and you don’t know why? Feeling helpless about whether any of us can do anything to halt the decline of the places we love? Well, we know a secret. Our society fought the same battles about 100 years ago, and small towns won.

Join Andrew Cameron, the founder of the Center for Small Town Success and small business owner, every other week as he rediscovers our Canadian Anti-Monopoly tradition. The goal is to learn how we successfully fought back against Monopolies in the 1900s so we can restore power to small towns, small businesses and individuals today.
