The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary.

What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.

I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading "Carless people". I don't even think that would happen, it's not like these companies can't afford it, they just don't want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!

I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.

The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn't happen.

the parent of this thread thinks it's stupid, and got up voted but like zero explanation. Looking at their post history they don't seem like a bot

I don't get the hate, it seems like about time these ultra rich companies paid some taxes?

Hate this title, how about:

Aren't there penalties for breaking contract?

provincial and federal governments announced more than $22.3 million in funding to bring high-speed Internet

Can we get our 22.3 million + interest back then? Seems like it might be time to make it a public company again.

Bell Canada parent company BCE awarded its executives more than $5 million after announcing it was laying off 4,800 employees.

Fuck this company

I could see someone seeing that hat and assuming it's a MAGA hat, and kicking the guy out -- and the security guards "just doing their jobs".

It still sucks, and i'm glad they said sorry

I don't know who this guy is, but his response seems ultra shitty.

Wondering if everyone else thinks this would have been a reasonable response: "it was a different time, black face wasn't seen as raciest in the circles i kept, i apologize for any offence i caused, it won't happen again"

As a parent, this is a parenting/personal issue, fuck off and please spend my money doing useful things (like supporting health care, or housing) not attempting to protect my children.

review bombing them and calling for boycotts because they raised their prices is fucking bullshit.

Just like you've stated your opinion here, they also can and should do that.

I wish every gamer had to work through crunch on at least one game

This is silly, developers shouldn't put up with crunch, but the blame for this doesn't lie with the customers, but instead with the corporation exploiting them.

You seem to be attacking the customer, and commiserating with the employees, but completely ignoring that somewhere all the value of the enterprise is being extracted. All in favour of status quo, this is terrible for everyone who actually works on the game, or pays for the game.

I think i've found a bug, but i'm not sure the protocol for where to submit it.

The bug:

This comment: https://old.lemmy.ca/comment/3118239

For the regular view: https://lemmy.ca/comment/3118239)

  • clicking "show context" shows a sibling comment
  • clicking "View all comments", shows all comments but either my comment or the sibling comment.
  • clicking "1 more reply" returns nothing

I think the parent comment (and replies to my comment have been deleted. Maybe this is intentional behaviour

Actually this might be the bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3886

The whole "article"

Canada Post reported a before-tax loss of $254 million for its second quarter. Revenue dropped by $78 million, or six per cent, year-over-year. Canada Post announced a transformation plan in June that targeted the e-commerce market for parcel delivery but ruled out staffing cuts.

Canada post costs money to run, it doesn't lose money, just like our hospitals and schools cost money, they aren't lost we are paying for these things so we have a nice place to live.

It's a small thing, but it's a huge difference of meaning.

If there was anything else at all in the article explaining the increase being unnecessary then maybe...
