The geniuses who came up with bamboozle have never run a small business. The compliance costs for a store to reprogram their point of sale machines/cash registers for some items for a couple of months is not nothing.

Government hates working with small businesses and self-employed types. They love working with big companies and monopolies as you get more regulatory compliance with a smaller buck. Trying to get a bunch of independent minded fishing boat owners to agree on anything is lot's of fun, that's why the laws generally favour big business and consolidations squeezing out the little guy.

This is exactly what my father, a former commercial fisherman, said about the East Coast fishery. Governments wanted to get away from individual owner/operator fishing, and switch to a large corporate system because it was easier for them to manage. Changes have been happening over the last 20 years to make the industry less friendly for individual owner/operators, to the point that many fishermen these days back home own multiple licenses and hire crews to fish them.

When I was young most farms were 4 quarters or so - 640 acres. There were a couple of big operators but the majority were small farms.
Small family farms are like the dinosaurs -extinct. The big operators have snapped up the land. And government was cheering on the sidelines.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was noncommittal Friday, when asked about whether the federal government would consider expanding its proposed $250 rebate cheque. She also outlined the feds rational for choosing the items that will be included in the GST “tax holiday.”
