Yes, Interac debit is an alternative in many situations, and that's a Canadian company.
That standard should still deal with plenty of the fascists, if consistently applied. Only the decent, honest, law-abiding fascists will slip through.

The disaster was that the immigration policy wasn't matched with any meaningful policy to create more housing at an affordable price. Immigration is something Canada continues to need, but on housing politicians are torn between the demands of those who can't afford housing and the demands of the corporations that build and own property, plus (to a lesser extent, because the gains aren't real) homeowners who want their property to keep increasing in value. And as usual corporate interests tend to win out.

Of course, they wouldn't be doing this if you weren't paying them at least the refunded amount somewhere else - through fees, or through people's average interest payments, or through price increases applied by the stores to cover the fees they pay to the credit card companies.
