Overview

• The Competition Bureau filed its lawsuit with the Competition Tribunal on June 9, 2025, alleging that DoorDash applied drip pricing tactics for nearly a decade.
• The bureau says customers saw low initial prices only to be charged mandatory service, delivery and regulatory fees at checkout.
• Investigators estimate these hidden fees added up to almost $1 billion taken at DoorDash’s discretion.
• DoorDash denies hiding costs and says it has always disclosed fees and updated its checkout flow to reflect changing rules.
• This action follows similar cases against Cineplex, Uber Eats and Instacart as the bureau intensifies its enforcement of Canada’s Competition Act.
