    Basic math. $50M fine. 40M Canadians. $1.25 per person? You think they didn’t make more than $1.25 per person price fixing? Fines are only useful if they exceed the profits. >

      It’s the maximum. Any fraud higher than that is free.

      I suspect this price fixing is common because there were a lot of people and companies involved in this and nobody made a peep, so who else is doing this if it’s normal?.
