Uber eyes rising competition in Canada

Lyft - driving its business overseas with its first international foray. The ride hailing app launched its service in Toronto, Canada on Tuesday - Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman hailed the first ride there to deliver toys to a local hospital. Lyft is presenting itself as a friendlier version of Uber which has been in Canada for five years, but faces investigations by governments around the world over its cover up of a massive 2016 data breach. Uber has been criticized for a lax attitude to regulations and accused of trade-secret theft.
