it highlights that Uber was confounded by Canadian Garret Camp

s/confounded/co-founded/cg

Sorry for the nit-pick, but in this case the word confounded had me genuinely confused about what this special interest group, Canadian Garret Camp, is (are they angel investors? some sort of VC incubator? a front-group for taxi companies?), and why they were lobbying for removing Uber's GST exemption.

To state that more clearly, Garret Camp is a person. He is a Canadian businessman and co-founded Uber along with Travis Kalanick.
You could say confounded confounded you.
Previously a co-founder of Stumble Upon as well.
