Becuase it maaaaaaybe dissuades SOME people from buying the service so there's maaaaaaybe less revenue for the mega corps.

So yea... It maybe kinda sorta... Hurts mega corps, but it absolutely is a tax paid by Canadians.

Now you might say the tax is good because it funds shit for Canadians, but that's a separate argument.

So yea, this is maybe? good for Canadians, since Canadians are getting absolutely FUCKED by anything digital / mobile / internet related.

If anything I'd love to see the Canadian market forced open for US telecoms, because as shitty as telecom is in the US its far FAR worse in Canada.
