21 Jan 2026 CineplexCineplex: Court of Appeal upholds 38.9 million CAD penalty for online booking fee €24m
The cinema company added a mandatory booking fee of 1.50 CAD to advertised ticket prices for online purchases. In September 2024, the Competition Tribunal classified this as drip pricing and imposed a penalty of 38.9 million CAD (the amount Cineplex had earned from it between June 2022 and December 2023) plus a ten-year prohibition; the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal in January 2026.
An advertised price must be attainable – only government charges may be added separately.

23 Sep 2025 TikTok Pte. Ltd.Canadian regulators: TikTok inadequately protected children's data Other
The joint investigation by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the supervisory authorities of Québec, British Columbia and Alberta found that every year hundreds of thousands of children used the platform despite the minimum age of 13, and that TikTok processed data without valid consent, including for profiling and advertising. TikTok undertook to improve age verification and make privacy notices easier to understand, and already during the investigation largely stopped targeted advertising to under-18s (except by broad categories such as language and approximate location).
Age limits in the terms of use are not enough – platforms need effective age verification and child-appropriate transparency.
