If you don't know what I'm referring to, it's basically the same thing as what's established in British Columbia, New York, and California for gig workers so they can get paid and treated better (at least in theory ye). I heavily suspect that Uber lobbied for this to happen as a way to kill off their competitors to get bigger market share, and as an excuse to get rid of the surplus amount of people they did hire over the years, with the benefiting of workers as simply good PR. Since I'm a bike courier in a suburb, this will benefit me, but for car couriers and rideshare drivers they will (according to themselves on the UberEats subreddit) are gonna suffer financially in Ontario due to the new legislation, which I'm sure Uber wants so they quit or work less.

I’m be never heard of fantuan and I’m in Ontario
@Jenny1234 are you within the GTA?

@Jenny1234 how come you never heard of Fantuan then? They're a very niche delivery service dedicated to Asian restaurants and groceries

Sadly they're definitely gonna be hit the hardest because they aren't as popular as UberEats, DoorDash, nor SkipTheDishes.

@uikakarotuevegeta I guess I’ve never heard of it because I don’t use food delivery service except for maybe once a year
@Jenny1234 Fantuan is much more prevalent in Asian dominated areas like Markham, Richmond Hill, Scarborough, North York, Brampton, Mississauga, and (downtown) Toronto

Although despite that, they're still dominated by UberEats, DoorDash, and SkipTheDishes
