I'm still waiting for mandatory sponsor jackets in the House and Senate.

LOL, helping Texans is against everything Abbott stands for.

Better hike up your bootstraps, fuckos. This is what corporate bankruptcy processes are for.

I don't understand why profiting from fees isn't illegal?

Isn't the purpose (and insinuation) of charging fees supposed to be a direct offset of a specific cost?

Goddamn corporate assholes.

Yeah, but this $100MM from Google is directly linked to C-18, which links the payments to full-time journalists employed.

So, while I don't love that it'll help a company like Bell's bottom line because it offsets journalist salaries at CTV, and I definitely dislike that the PostMedia and TorStar billionaire owners will undoubtedly just pass through all their journalist subsidies to personal profit, I do like that it will help pay for journalists at the CBC and other editorially or financially independent news sources.

So, not all sunshine in this whole C18 / Google story, but what does all that actually have to do with telcos not building infrastructure?

The residential heating oil concessions represent a miniscule amount of the total carbon taxes while maximizing carbon emission reduction intensity.

It's a good trade-off, although their messaging on why the change happened was sloppy. Keeping the tax as is and avoiding this debacle, and then further enhancing the incentives to change would have been my preferred method.
