Toronto taxi companies and the ride-hailing service HOVR are advocating for inclusion in the city's 'Buy Local, Buy Canadian' initiative, seeking bans on U.S.-based apps. The companies argue that local spending bolsters economic growth and that U.S. firms like Uber dominate the market unfairly. They emphasize the capacity of Canadian companies to meet local transport needs while supporting safety and industry diversity. This push coincides with a council initiative aimed at encouraging support for local businesses due to geopolitical pressures, amidst claims by Uber of its Canadian workforce and operations.
Canadian companies can easily step in to connect Torontonians with their next ride home. Local companies will work with municipalities to support common-sense protections.
The 'Buy Local, Buy Canadian' campaign is an attempt to protect Toronto jobs, responding to the tariffs threatened by the U.S.
