    What? The digital service tax was for the American corporations to pay.

      And they’re absolutely never going to raise prices for Canadians to compensate right?

      That foreign corporations would pay out of their Canadian sales.

      Which would certainly cause them to increase the fees they charge their Canadian customers so they don’t have to reduce their profits.

        I’m well aware that’s what they might do to offset their costs, but OP saying that the corporations us Canadians will have to pay the tax is plain wrong. They’re probably conflating it with tariffs.

        And sorry ‒ off topic question. I haven’t lived in Canada in years, but do we really say “y’all” now? That’s kinda weird.

          Yes it’s weird, it is another example of creeping American influence.
