My Story:

 

As a business owner, I have worked hard to build my reputation by providing the best possible service to my customers. However, Google’s review system has taken control of my business’s public image without my consent, allowing unverified and potentially false reviews to be published without accountability.

 

Google profits from my reputation while giving me no say in how my business is portrayed online. Negative reviews—whether true or false—are published instantly without verification, while businesses have no real ability to challenge or remove unfair, misleading, or even fake reviews. Competitors or bad-faith actors can exploit this system to damage businesses while Google benefits from the engagement.

 

I am not alone—many other business owners feel the same frustration. That’s why I am calling on the Competition Bureau of Canada and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to investigate Google’s unfair review system and implement fair regulations that protect businesses.
