    Lets break this down for you. Take beer. a bar doesn’t pay gst, pst or lct when it buys it, only when it sells it, but there’s already an excise and other taxes on it long before it reaches point of final sale. so say 45-55 dollars price a 24 case for the liquor store or bar if in a province with a form of LCBO monopoly yet. the bar can’t sell it for less than 70 bucks or it’s paying you to leave with it. 75 now as of the federal increase depending on province, just to not lose money selling beer to leave the premises, and you don’t want to increase it to a point you make money off that, because it’s at least getting people in the door because you’re price matching the liquor store, Then the carbon tax. the bills. the taxes on those, the tax tax tax on tax. if you do manage to make any money after all that, they tax that too. Small business books look like the shit people used try kill the sheriff of Nottingham and prince john for.

      That’s a long winded explanation for saying taxes are one part of COGS. Do taxes impact COGS? Absolutely. But so do other regulations, market pressureus, trade deals, weather, road repairs, train breakdowns, flu season intensity, water table levels, how much commission the sales guy gets, etc, etc, etc.

          Nah. It’s because you’re a joke.

          If I made a point you’d be like “oh but the monkey’s right nut was facing west so that means that blahblahbullfuckingshit”

          You’re one of those twirps who just changes the argument regardless of what’s actually happening. It’s worthless, just like you.

          Go eat shit.

              Oh no! When a dumb shit calls me brain dead what does that mean?

              Does it come back around?

              Do I get to go on some special super government program where I get free money for live and sap off numbered corporations specifically?

              Oh gee I don’t know. I’m too stupid but I’m sure someone will figure it out for me wouldn’t want to miss out on that free easy siphoned off numbered corporation money!

                I hope you get to live in the Canada you want. We’re almost there anyways. Look around, how on earth does any of this make you feel like it’s worthwhile?

                  Well this convo is giving me some satisfaction. That’s pretty worthwhile.

                  If you fuck off, well hell. It’s all worth it right there!

                    You people amaze me. Do you really want to live in the Canada that’s coming based on the trends of today? c-63 is coming, this entire conversation would be criminal under it.
