Join author Tom Slee, on Tuesday, January 16, 2018, 7:00 – 8:30 pm at Toronto Reference Library, Beeton Hall, as he explores the personal and societal consequences of the so-called sharing economy.

This largely unregulated sector creates unfair competition with traditional industries by avoiding the usual taxes, licensing fees, personnel training costs, insurance fees and other regulatory headaches.

Here is a recent analysis from CBC on Canada's sharing economy, along with an article on the topic from the Globe and Mail.
