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

Monopolies Killed My Hometown

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.
