FAIR Canada appeared in national media through late March and April, contributing the investor perspective on a range of pressing issues.
This included an op-ed by our Executive Director, Jean-Paul Bureaud, on how inconsistent complaint-handling timelines continue to disadvantage investors across Canada.
We were also cited by The Globe and Mail, CTV News Toronto, and the Toronto Star in coverage of prediction markets. Reporting largely examined growing concerns about Wealthsimple’s recently approved prediction-based trading. We raised concerns about investor confusion and harm when gambling-like products are promoted to retail investors, particularly where regulatory boundaries are unclear.
Coverage also examined the promotion of Polymarket – a platform banned in Ontario – outside a Toronto Blue Jays game, and the investor-protection concerns this kind of marketing raises.
