I do not believe this has been discussed previously, my apologies if it had. Nevertheless I was curious as to what people, especially those outside of Canada thought about the recent new laws the Government has been attempting to implicate or what they have been complaining about as of late. If you are not aware, some of the recent ones I have listed below.
- The Canadian Government is demanding account information from Ebay, so they may tax sellers on the aforementioned website claiming that Ebay sellers are not declaring their earnings as income, which would be a taxable commodity. Ebay has been fighting this vehemently citing there is no justification that items sold on their website should be considered taxable.
- Speeding may now lead to a suspended license.
- It will be illegal to drive with more then one additional teenager in a vehicle.
The second and third may be up to the age of twenty-five although such has not yet been confirmed. They are currently stating the vague term "teenagers" and not offering a direct age, however at least until the age of twenty-one is expected.
In other news the Canadian Government has recently been complaining that too many Canadians have been driving down to the United States to book flights whether or not they intend to fly to another Canadian Province; the result has been quite costly to Air Canada. Why would people do this? That would be because Air Canada costs upwards of $1,200 for a direct flight from Montreal to Vancouver for coach (cheaper ticket possible) United Airlines charges a mere $500 by rough estimation if not even less for a flight the same distance, even if that flight is from an American State to a Canadian Province.
Thoughts?
