Does that work? Can I just ask the government to tax me less, or does it require a campaign contribution?
Raise it more instead. Fuck em.
Yes. Let’s tell them how much we want our subscription costs to go up.
Nope they gonna raise the prices no matter what. That 2% nato requirement needs to be funded.
I believe it’s more than time we start forcing multinational corporations to pay taxes based on where they made their revenue and not based on where their headquarter is established.
Unsurprising. Anyone taking bets on how far this will go? :D
Using the first numbers I found Canada is ~7% of Netflix’ total subscriber count, and less than 1/3 the number of subscribers as the US. They could shut off service to Canada for a month until people start burning down service Canada locations and the tax gets dropped.

Maybe a decade ago when Netflix was actually highly-regarded and held a near-monopoly on streaming video.
Today with the massive balkanisation of streaming video, and with Netflix developing a reputation for cancelling good shows and producing poor-quality adaptations? I think most people would post a couple of angry Facebook comments and then move on.
The lack of availability of legal channels to obtain media does not generally stop the availability of said media to the average consumer, especially in a country with high tech permeance.
