    They have been increasing prices. They have also removed basic services and account sharing.

    It’s not taxed on net income, but gross revenue. Semantically, it’s a “revenue” tax with the same effect as a sales tax. They collect $100 and get to keep $3. I appreciate the wishful thinking, but it will passed on to customers.

    The Canadian solution to every problem is always “more tax”.

      Well, traditionally it is: Establish a monopoly/monopsony.

      But with US companies already entrenched, it is a little late for that. “More tax” is our fallback plan.
