Six locations will open by Feb. 1, with three additional outlets expected in Staples within the coming months.
The first six locations are:
- Oakville, 2460 Winston Churchill Blvd.
- Newmarket, 17810 Yonge St.
- Toronto, 180 Eglinton Ave. E.
- Strathroy, 425 Caradoc St. S.
- Tillsonburg, Tillsonburg Town Centre, 200 Broadway St.
- Welland, Seaway Mall, 800 Niagara St.
So as Staples is an American company, does this put Canadians’ personal information under the jurisdiction of the PATRIOT act?
Unlikely. Since Service Ontario deals with health data, it’ll likely be attached to a government system and data centres. Staples wouldn’t touch this deal if they were responsible for the IT due to the liability.
It’s likely only a real estate and staffing agreement.
