Canada has implemented a new tax savings from December to February for some things like taxable groceries, crafts, and gaming physical media. I wanted to get a new Xbox controller and found the best price at Walmart for $55 a week ago. The tax holiday starts today and I now see that the $55 has increased to $62 and change, which is about how much tax I should be saving. Great to see this thinly veiled attempt to help Canadians ( /s - win votes) is just going to be extra profit in the corporations’ pockets.
How?
I have not been able to find anything about restrictions to stop the price gouging.
It’s a by province thing, search customer protection [province]
It is hard to believe but apparently these laws do in fact exist at least in the US.
Government doesn’t care though, call the police prole.
