Government of Canada to tax internet usage

[Redwagon]

The federal government says it will soon tax Internet usage in an effort to pay down the country’s swelling deficit.

“The bills are piling up and we need to find new streams of revenue to keep up,” said government spokesman Earl White.

“This isn’t really a tax. It’s more of a user fee. Those who don’t want to pay, can just live offline. The majority of Canadians do just fine without the Internet.”
