I heard there’s privacy implications and the practice entrenches questionable players in the market.

Of course, if you pay with anything other than cash, they will be tracking you by that information too. The points program gives then additional information about gender, age, address, etc.

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
