The $38.9 million fine Cineplex has now been handed is equivalent to the amount it collected from consumers through the $1.50 online booking fee between June 2022 and December 2023.

This is already way harsher than corporations usually get but I can't help but wish it was more that all they got because they come out with no actual loss.

Fine should be 10x the amount collected over the fees life time, not a bit over a years worth

Yes I agree. To me this sends the message ``best case you keep the money, worst cause you have to pay it back." No true penalty.
