Canadian Club of Toronto — News
Canadian Club of Toronto

The Canadian Club of Toronto is Canada’s preeminent public affairs podium. Since 1897, we have served an ambitious and important mission: to connect Canadians with world-class leaders and newsmakers and be a leading platform for influencers to engage Canadians on what matters most.

Over our 125 year history as a not-for-profit organization, we continue to be a forum for Governors General and Prime Ministers, CEOs and Nobel laureates, scientists, artists and innovators. We have a proud tradition of hosting national and international leaders in politics, business, social innovation and the media, and our members and audiences are drawn from an equally diverse and distinguished group of leaders.

The Canadian Club addresses routinely generate national coverage across multiple platforms. In addition to reported media coverage and our in-person audience of several hundred people, we make our programming accessible to all Canadians through broadcasts on cable television and webcasts, available online.

Events run between September and June in downtown Toronto. As an independent, non-profit organization, we make all our events open to the public. Tickets can be purchased online or through our office at 416-364-5590.

Pierre Karl Péladeau Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

As consumer prices skyrocket across the country, cellphone bills are the surprising exception. Statistics Canada’s Consumer Price Index shows that wireless costs have actually fallen more in the last two quarters than they did in the last two years. This exception to the inflationary trend is being attributed to increasing competition in Canada’s telecommunications industry, driven in large part by Quebecor’s acquisition of Freedom Mobile earlier this year. On November 14, Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor, will address the Canadian Club Toronto on the state of competition in the sector and the benefits of an increasingly aggressive market, fueled by the emergence of Quebecor as a major national contender.
