May 2 2026-Former Toronto Homicide Cop Hank Idsinga's Memoir & The Problem of "Surveillance Pricing" His new book has already received huge attention because of explosive allegations of anti-Semitism and racism at the highest levels of the Toronto Police Service after 34 years with the force, leading the homicide unit for five of them, Hank idsinga wrote: “The High Road: Confessions of a Homicide Cop” and in its first week, it topped the Canadian non-fiction list at number 4. Here is part of the long, fascinating conversation I had with him. And We’ve all heard of dynamic or surge pricing - where companies ratchet up our costs when demand is higher. Now they have figured out how to charge each of us the most we would be willing to pay - even if it’s more than the person next to us in the virtual check out line. How does it work, and what if anything can we do about it? I asked technology analyst and journalist Carmi Levy.
