Agreed that sales tax should be paid on all subscriptions that Canadians purchase. I think the article is disingenuous in not mentioning whether Google and Facebook pay income taxes on profits made from Canadian subscribers. I thank the author for pointing out the outrageous law that prevents a Canadian company from deducting the expense of an ad in the printed New York Times. I suspect a lot of companies might not bother to exclude that expense however. (They probably deduct anyhow). Surely they can deduct it if the ad is targeted to U.S. customers? If not, that's outrageous indeed.
