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 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.
It’s a by province thing, search customer protection [province]
