Reviewing the leaked Flock camera map, I see there are planned cameras at the home Depot's in the city. There are also 4 active devices; two near Rosedale, and a couple active in Audi midtown Dealership.

you can see the details here: https://flocksurveillance.org/index.html ( you must VPN into the USA to view the site).

Seems like unacceptable behaviour from a corporation. Anyone know if they are still planned? as you can see the map shows them as planned as of a year ago.

I'm surprised they think an American company can afford the bad PR in Canada right now.

    The only time I have set foot in a Home Despot since Trump got elected was to use their toilet.

    It does suck, though, that they are the only place to buy Ryobi tools. My batteries are getting close to end of life, and I'd rather not have to replace my tools to move to a different battery ecosystem.

    They can't afford the thefts in Canada right now. I know some who works at Home Depot and people walk out with $500 tools every day. Given TPS don't actually work any more, and even if someone is caught, the fine is trivial and just encourages more theft. It's not sustainable.

    I mean fair enough, but a flock camera isn't really going to help with that. At best it will list off every care in the parking lot at the time, and might be able to check repeat offenders. Caging inventory would be a better bet, but most likely there are staff helping with the theft.
