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

White said the plan will force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to monitor customers’ web surfing and turn a usage report over to the feds at the end of the year for taxation. The plan is to tax each site visit based on the page’s content.

First thing after the holiday this gets a complaint with the Privacy commision. If the government thinks it can
monitor my surfing habits just so they can impose
content based taxes. they ain't going to be around.
And I'll also be chatting with some of the biggest legal firms in the country who happen to be B&M clients, and like getting their names in the papers
(Greenspan,etc.).
