Organizers of the coalition held a press conference on December 9 outlining how deregulation has become even more of a concern as the COVID-19 pandemic affects profits for businesses. “[Ride-sharing services] have actually deregulated and lowered the bar for the sector in a way that is actually detrimental to Torontonians,” says co-founder of RideShare Thorben Wieditz.
