As a Canadian I'm frustrated our agencies aren't seeking compensation on behalf of affected consumers or taking more aggressive steps to hold Equifax accountable.

Frankly, I'm surprised and disappointed nobody here has started a class action to go after both Equifax, as well as the companies who shared my data with them without my explicit consent.

I think regrettably, y'all aren't big enough to make it happen, and doubly so with a protectionist president in the US. Being part of the EU I think is a big win for European countries on this front -- always stronger as part of a gang.
