Of course they would, what a crapshoot.
Can someone link an article that tells me what’s going on without telling me how to feel about it?
Fuck I hate this shit.

The government’s fall economic statement announced an increase to the Canadian Journalism Tax Credit, a refundable tax credit allowing qualifying news outlets to claim up to 35 per cent of up to $85,000 in salary for a qualified employee.
That’s an increase from the credit’s initial allowance of 25 per cent of up to $55,000 in salary per employee.
Of course, as a news article from a news organization, it has quotes from someone in the business saying the change is good.
A quote from someone saying it’s good doesn’t bother me as much as the writer thinking I’m too dumb to decide what my opinion is.
So thanks!
