Apparently Home Depot in Toronto has plans for them to be installed, to help with their theft issues. The same theft issues the cops already do sweet fuck all about. But apparently having AI hallucinations telling the cops that XYZ did the crime is somehow going to help them.

    While Rona is a "Canadian" company, it is owned by Sycamore Partners since 2023. An American private equity firm based in New York.

    I'm not sure what's left nationally beyond Home Hardware and Canadian Tire. Regionally and locally there may be some additional options.

    let me guess, you're standing in front of a home depot and are calling out things you see?

    i forgot home depot even in the states, was a premiere target for shoplifting expensive home improvement equipment, and selling it.(remember the shoplifitng sub, before it was shutdown in the 1st term). it was shoplifters primary target, followed by lowes. they often use the garden section to throw lifted material over the fence.
