What I would have preferred is that Canada removing the burden off the taxi companies and let them give competition to Uber in innovation space instead of trying to bribe politicians to act as gatekeepers.

Would you like to point to any precedents for 'unburdened' cab markets which have resulted in better service?

Have you ever been to Bangkok? I can just pay $1, hop on the back of a moto idling outside the skytrain station, and off we go lanesplitting through traffic straight to my office 2km away.

It's amazing and would be so illegal on so many levels in Canada (where I spend $1000/mo on transportation).
