Say it's the difference between $6.75M and 6.15 a year. Or even less, say it's 250k or less. That's an expensive Uber.
Again, the camera is there for security. It's not there for the driver to go viral. I'm sure that's not in the Uber terms of service.
Bearing in mind that one should dig two graves before embarking upon a mission of vengeance, they could sue him just to make him bleed financially. Which would be a bit evil.

You have to prove (a) your reputation was damaged by that incident alone; (b) that's why you made less; and (c) that there's a wrongful act under the common law in Canada. And I would bet a court would find that your own actions were a major contributing cause to your damages. So whatever the award was would be reduced by the amount for which your own actions were responsible.
