As of today, Canadian merchants will be allowed to charge extra money when accepting credit cards.

These new fees are meant to offset the fees that credit card companies charge vendors with every purchase. Previously Visa and Mastercard prohibited business owners from passing along to customers.

Now it will be up to each individual merchant to choose whether or not to add Visa and Mastercard surcharges to the bills of patrons.

Game times have been released for the Blue Jays playoff series against the Seattle Mariners.
