The 15% “TAX” headline is COMPLETE LIE. A misrepresentation - READ THE ARTICLE. It is NOT a TAX but a requirement that streamers spend 15% of Canadian revenue to PURCHASE or CREATE CANADIAN CONTENT. This is a Canadian content law. NOT A TAX.

That's great that they're busy talking about that while at the same time making mass internet surveillance mandatory with Bill C-22. I wonder if one is meant to distract people from the other and dilute the conversation.

    I remember Carney "parising" Trump on some show, not directly but just to the host, about how Trump's strategy of "flooding the zone" and calling that a good tactic or something. And then some months later, we gpt Bill C-2.

    So I don't think it's impossible to say that they aren't learning from that.
