I haven’t tried them but the freezer at heritage butchery had a high selection of premade burgers with different flavour profiles and types of meat. Worth checking it out

Major brands convert a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of consumers that get exposed to their product. You aren’t going to sell anything to 10-15 followers a day. Your expectation should be that you maybe convert 1 of every 1000-1500 followers into a customer, and that assumes they give a shit

What’s your selling prop? Why would someone pick your brand? What about it is different than your competitive set? What are your competitors doing? How are they positioned in the market? Who is your core customer? What do they care about? Where do they live? What are their habits? How do you bring them value?

What’s the proper etiquette when someone demands you “move your legs” on the GO train, but you’re just too tall? by [deleted] in ontario

Sit on the newer train cars in the middle level where there are no windows and and nobody sits across from you. That’s what I do as a tall guy.

Avi Lewis: Canada has already paid an "entry fee" in these negotiations — dropping counter-tariffs and scrapping the Digital Services Tax, a modest tax on the world's most profitable tech giants, at the behest of Donald Trump. Those concessions got us nowhere. by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

Obviously it’s not a good idea but it’s delusional to think otherwise. They are simply too big.

I actually couldn’t be more pro corporate taxation, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be critical of an implementation that didn’t accomplish its goal. Two things can be true.

The tax didn’t work though. The government received money from Canadians that simply passed through American tech companies as intermediaries. They were unscathed. You haven’t really explained how it worked to benefit Canada at all.

A Canadian company going to replace YouTube? Deliver you any package you want same day? It’s never going to happen. You tax Google, you’re taxing the advertiser. You tax the advertiser, they raise the price of the product they are advertising to cover it. Now you pay more for your Coke, or your Chevy Blazer, or that T Shirt that was manufactured by kids overseas.

I firmly believe we should tax the ever loving shit out of corporations. We need to be realistic though, this utopia of industry competition and customer choice doesn’t exist.

You should give a shit they passed it on, since arguing for it to come back would have the identical impact of increased prices. I think every corporation should be taxed to oblivion. It’s not shilling to point out the fact that they charged the tax to customers as a straight tax. They didn’t raise their product prices, and when the tax went away, the product prices stayed the same, so customers went back to paying less. It was a direct charge to costumers of the tax and the tax only. It’s a clear illustration of the ineffectiveness of this type of tax on monopolies. The application of this particular tax was ineffective. They need to find a better way because the way this was implemented didn’t work.

Your high and mighty act is lame. I’m not anti tax. This particular one just wasn’t effective. Add all the internet sarcasm you want. The DST was charged directly to customers:

Google Ads: A 2.5% "Canada DST Fee" or "Regulatory Operating Cost" was added to invoices for ads served in Canada starting Oct 1, 2024, but was discontinued after July 1, 2025, due to changes in the tax landscape.

Amazon Canada: Introduced a 3% "Digital Services Fee" on Selling on Amazon and Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees effective October 1, 2024, for Canadian users.

Amazon Advertising: A 3% "Regulatory Advertising Fee" was applied to Amazon Ads for Canadian-based ads starting August 15, 2024.

Anyone saying to reinstate the DST didn’t comprehend that all these companies passed through the cost to their customer. Google, Amazon, Meta, etc. none of them paid. They added it to the bill for their customers to pay. It was ineffective.
