I know this because I use SimpleLogin to provide each service with its own specialized email address. You can see in the picture the address starts with bixi@sl.***

It's also possible but unlikely that they sold user data.

This is not sufficient for your conclusion given the burden of proof required for this claim. And, to be clear, you are claiming that: This organization controlled by the municipality is SELLING your email address. Your proof is a screenshot with the addressed censored. Not that there was a leak, not that someone guessed this handle, not that PBSC got hacked, not that you typed the wrong handle into a form. I can run this past bixi for you if you DM me your address, but you're assuming a lot and I would bet not just MAGA but real coins that you're wrong about bixi selling your info.

That's a fair point, it's totally possible they got breached, I'll update my title / desc accordingly :)

Btw, as far as I know, Bixi is owned by Lyft and not the municipality, but feel free to correct me.

Bixi is owned by Bixi Montréal a non profit created by the city in 2014.

Your confusion is probably that the founding company, PBSC, is now owned by Lyft. Now called PBSC Urban Solutions, it was the international operations portion of the company before the bankruptcy.

Oh interesting, that was 10 years ago, some sites are still providing this information as if it were actual and factual. Thanks for the correction!

Btw I contacted them by email this morning and gave them all the information I have, waiting on a reply.

I sent you a PM with the information, let me know if you got it :)

I’ve gotten no response from them after a couple of days

Call em, let them know your case number, it's what I did.

They replied to me letting me know they were looking into it after our call.
