The National Post reports in its Wednesday, Dec. 6, edition that last week, the Liberals tabled legislation for an eventual "digital services tax" on big tech companies, including Meta's Facebook and Netflix. The Post's Tristin Hopper writes that it is not surprising that the Trudeau government would look to tax Netflix; it has already used other legislation to subject the streaming giant to strict content controls. Keen political observers, however, may remember that one of the most-mocked episodes from the 2015 election was a video in which then prime minister Stephen Harper warned that "only our party can be trusted not to bring forward a new Netflix tax." There was plenty that Mr. Harper got wrong. The Conservatives have openly embraced the notion that they backed the wrong horse in the same-sex marriage debate. There is no shortage of weed-smoking right-wingers who are happy they can now get their cannabis from a store. As well, even the most partisan Tory can still be made to shudder by mentioning the words "barbaric cultural practices hotline." Mr. Hopper says the rise of the Netflix tax is far from the first time that Mr. Harper's forecasts have come true.
