"“If people don’t want to pay the levy to get news on what’s happening in government, they can get their news directly from the government free of charge,” said White."

Yes, Just like they do in China..........

$1:

“This isn’t really a tax. It’s more of a user fee.

$1:

White says 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.

so what? Add it onto our year end taxes?

$1:

“This is no different than paying that extra little fee when you go to an ATM machine. And no one complains about that do they?” he said.

Is this guy an idiot? The answer is YES it is different and YES people do complain. Does he get out and talk to real people?



Question, what if out ISP is based in the US or some obscure island down south and refuses to hand over this info? I'd gladly slow my connection a bit to avoid the government having ready access to my private surfing.

I mean how much will this post be costing me right now?

UGH

Ok, well the loser of the week award goes to the guy who planted kiddie pron on his co worker's hubbies PC but the dupe of the week goes to me.

Hey first thing in the morning and no coffee while surfing and watching two kids.

I'll sulk away in embarrassment now

Gezzz you guys could of let this run a little longer so Benn wasn't feeling so lonely.

But it was kind of a lame attempt by the Sun this year. This doesn't rate up there with collecting dog DNA during license renewals so the city could match dogs with the offending poo not picked up by the owners, or draining the Bow River to count the fish.
