The company recently won a legal battle in an Ontario court against the City of Toronto, which sought a permanent injunction against Uber’s operations.
The judge ruled there was no evidence the company is operating as a taxi broker or that it breached city bylaws, saying the city’s definition of a brokerage was too broad.
Toronto and Ottawa city councils met recently with Uber and taxi companies to try to figure out a way forward.

Greece strikes deal with creditors, avoids chaotic euro exit
BRUSSELS (AP) — After grueling, often angry negotiations that tested the limits of European unity, Greece struck a preliminary rescue deal with its creditors Monday that should avert an imminent financial catastrophe but also guarantees years more hardship and sacrifice for its people.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras flew home to sell the bailout plan to skeptical lawmakers and political allies, some of whom accused him of selling Greece out.
Panos Kammenos, leader of the junior partner in Tsipras’ coalition government, denounced the deal as a German-led “coup.”

Greece strikes deal with eurozone, avoiding euro exit, but Tsipras faces dissent
– canadianbusiness.com
BRUSSELS – With members of his own party openly denouncing a preliminary rescue deal struck with Greece’s European creditors, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras must fight to cling to his government’s majority after he was forced to shred election promises and introduce punishing austerity measures in exchange for the bailout.
Tsipras, who flew home Monday from grueling night-long negotiations with European leaders, will chair an executive meeting of his Syriza party early Tuesday before lawmakers begin a two-day debate on the deal — set to heap more tax hikes and spending cuts on a country already suffering through six years of recession.
The deal ensures that Greece avoids an imminent financial catastrophe and an exit from the Eurozone. But Panos Kammenos, leader of the junior partner in Tsipras’ coalition government, called the bailout plan a German-led “coup.”
“This deal introduced many new issues … we cannot agree with it,” Kammenos said after meeting with Tsipras…
