Has the NDP ever met a tax it didn't like?  I mean seriously this is just another example of why this party will never form a national government and the notion that Canadians want a tax on Netflix and other foreign media providers is plain nuts.  The only ones calling for this are those working in the domestic media industry that are struggling to retain relevance with their content that leaves much to be desired. 
At the end of the day these kinds of ideas are just the schemes of champagne socialists who are so out of touch with reality it boggles the imagination.
