Just like there’s different flavours or socialism, as @Kirkhill pointed out, there’s more than one flavour of capitalism/free market approaches.

Some ask the same about stuff the US is doing, but good question to ask in all directions.

But who are they paying the taxes on the money they make to? PThey send the sales tax they collect to Canada’s Gov’t like any other business. Doing a bit of digging, it appears that company is paying payroll taxes, but nobody can find how much they’re paying on their sales. This from the...

Agreed. Also agreed. In general, and in theory, yes, but I worry about the practice leading to Canadian companies getting swamped as Mega-corps turning up their dials 5-10% swallow up Canada's incremental market. USSR protectionism, no, but some would say a level playing field would mean...

And giving Meta & Google a tax break that Canadian businesses don't get is going to change this, how?

Brave stance being in favour of multinationals being able to (or continuing to be able to) do business and access customers in Canada without paying taxes, continuing a tax break that similar Canadian companies don't get. I know Amazon, Google & Meta are truly hard done by, and not making THAT...

One man's "short sighted tax grab" is another's "ending someone's tax holiday that nobody else gets." 🤷‍♂️

You're far from alone in not being familiar with the scale and distances involved, just like I'm not familiar with the issues of density some of the other bits of Canada experience. After all, how would memes like this survive on the interwebs otherwise? ;) Ask 100 MP's in Ottawa how long it...

Good catch - refreshingly honest for a government information machine :)

If an issue in Pickering or Mirabel ended up leading to protests in other municipalities across the country, things might go differently for them, too. I was in the public service for 20 years plus and “traditional territory” was a common term waaaay then. It’s an idea that’s been confirmed by...

To mangle an old saying, some might say that those who know, do, and those who don’t, preach. Lots of critics on all sides like this.
