You know what though? Every business has risk, even if it is political. So TFB taxi lobbyists.
Do they think that oil companies wanted the Alberta government to go change the royalty regime a couple years ago? Do the banks bribe the BoC so that they don't go changing the rate?
Owning a business involves risk and reward. It's not right that this select group can bribe their way into rigging the rules so that their business environment is unfairly protected from the free market. What taxis should be doing instead of running around lining government pockets is devising a way to compete and survive, or yeah, they'll end up like Blockbuster in a failed business model that refused to compete.
This isn't going to end well for cabs.
