Right to repair movement sees progress but advocates say it’s no easy fix | Globalnews.ca

Summary

68% Informative

Right-to-repair advocates want to make items in our homes easier to fix and less prone to wind up in a landfill.

For many, it’s a matter of principle; if you own something they think you should be able to repair it yourself.

Others see the right to repair as a way to save money or boost sustainability.

A growing movement is looking to change that.

Apple announced last summer that Canadians will get access this year to a program providing them with parts, tools and manuals they need to fix their own devices.

Customers will have to pay for parts and rent tools necessary to make repairs to 42 Apple products ranging from the latest MacBook Airs to mobile devices as far back as iPhone 12 .

Advocates see a bill to amend Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act as a potentially bigger harbinger of change.
