I’m missing the part where this is the private companies’ responsibility, or why the taxes they pay aren’t covering this need already. Obviously, this will just result in a 5% increase in everyone’s fees (worldwide, I’m sure, not just Canada). But I wouldn’t be surprised to see these services just pull out of Canada altogether, for fear of this shit setting a precedent.
I wish they would tbh. It'd be hilarious to see Netflix et al cancel shit in Canada and put up a website saying "your government is the reason why we're unavailable, good luck".
But they're all woke trash, and won't care.
They'll just put it as a surcharge or an excuse to jack up the rates.
Probably will just jack up the price 10% and not give a single explanation. Which is fine, I’ll just sail the seven seas like I always do
