    The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary. We depend on US content so much you couldn’t possibly function on the internet without it. It’ll force the US to limit services so we’ll be forced to use Chinese or European services and for what benefit? I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

      What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.

      I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading “Carless people”. I don’t even think that would happen, it’s not like these companies can’t afford it, they just don’t want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!

      You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.

      The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn’t happen.
