Kinda, in Québec, there are many more consumer oriented protections like the "legal warranty" that allows someone to request repair outside of the 1yr/2yr warranty usually provided by the manufacturer. The duration of the "legal warranty" is related to the price and the usual life expectancy of an appliance. (7 yrs for a std washing machine). It's also illegal to make a loan with too high interest rate (above 30%).
