Why no CBC app? What does CBC Listen or CBC Gem do?
Marketplace tested the Tim Hortons, PC Optimum, Weather Network, Facebook, Amazon and YouTube apps
And they all track you
Just for anyone who collects PC points, you can just install the app, screenshot the part with the bar code and uninstall it. Works fine. I also do this with SaveOn Foods.
I use Catima for all my points cards. It’s very barebones but has handles any card type I’ve put in. You can get it on official app stores, F-Droid, etc. Best thing, privacy focussed.

Edit: including PC Points.
And the “app only” PC offers can usually be activated through the website.
not that anything in here was a huge shock, still a nice article and accessible enough that I can send it to my mom.
I enjoyed the obligatory “x megacorp had no comment asked why they collect the amount of time you spend on the toilet at work” paragraph at the end of each section.
edit: spelling is hard
For those who might still be using Weather Network, try Weawow! :D
Landed on Weawow a couple of years ago and I never anticipate changing. I only wish it had local tides, but that’s a big ask for a free app that has so much more.
This week’s CBC Marketplace episode seems to be a banger! Will watch after work.
Seems pointless when the correct amount is zero.
