| Dodece said: I am terribly confused isn't Canada doing what a competent government is supposed to do. Encourage foreign investment in their economy, and strengthen their local economy with good paying jobs. What a novel concept sounds like something Britain should consider. I am not even seeing unfair competition here its not like the economies in question are disproportionate to one another. I might see the point if there were game development sweat shops with poorly paid Canadians sweating over hot keyboards. With no benefits and a overbearing boss that brings a cattle prod to work every morning to keep the peons in line during their sixteen hour shifts. While has special assistant hides the employees shoes and sprinkled broken glass outside the building. Nothing will come of this anyway its my experience in life that any group or organization that use apostrophes in its title is the kind of organization that will never commit to anything. Hell its hard to even be intimidated by such a group without first saying what exactly is it you do again? I am also reasonably sure such a group also accumulates pointless tasks then need never be assigned. |
Governments arent supposed to unfairly support companies so that they can beat the competition in other countries, if uk decided to give their game companies money and tax breaks then canada would be upset and screwed aswell and it can end up a worldwide trade war where all governments start supporting their video game companies then where would we be? The companies get rich off the governments fighting each other for development in this sector. Its similar to subsidizing farmers so that they can sell their goods cheap, its similar to cheap labor in that the government pays part of the costs, in this case it seems to be in the form of tax cuts which is debatable how unfair an advantage it gives but the principal is still the same. For fair trade to work companies need to have equal opportunities wherever they do their business.
