| We should not let this happen without a loud protest First of all... I got the letter from Rogers... it said Cable companies are forced to pay this LPIF fee... this fee/tax is then passed on directly to the consumer... heaven forbid Rogers bottom line be hit... Secondly, we will be taxed at whatever our provincial tax rate is HST/GST on top of this tax also... Thirdly, I already emailed CRTC regarding LPIF expressing my disgust about this and asking a question about whether I would recieve a tax deduction for this fee which is legislated on me forcing me to subsidize unprofitable/charitable entities in Canada. If somebody wants to pay this fee by all means have at it... but if one feels they already pay through the nose and would rather not pay additional fees then this option should be available.
Personally I hate being gouged into supporting something which I don't really care about. And personally, I don't think Rogers or any other company who is given license by the Canadian government should be able to force such a subsidy upon me without my consent... an awful lot of power.
Enough is enough!!!!!!! Protest Canadians... don't let them away with this... this is robbery and especially now when families are hurting financially during this recession. |
