They'll just charge Canadians more.

$15 Netflix in US will be $20 Netflix in Canada.

Just another tax on dumb people who can't figure out how to pay for US Netflix or safely torrent.

I don't know as how are they working out this percentage to tax?

If this is their GLOBAL income, they'll leave, immediately. No amount of price hike justifies ONE country demanding a set percentage out of their entire international income.

That'd have to be some kind of world trade / nafta violation.

"ordered large online streaming services to pay 5 percent of their Canadian revenue"
