I was sent this, and apparently it's actually real....
In all its infinite wisdom (/s), the Canadian Federal Government is temporarily suspending federal sales tax for the Christmas period on, amongst other things, mostly junk food 🤪 :
Candies, including candy floss, chewing gum, and chocolate, as well as fruits, seeds, nuts or popcorn coated or treated with candy, chocolate, honey, molasses, sugar, syrup or artificial sweeteners
Salty snacks including chips, crisps, puffs, curls, sticks, popcorn, brittle pretzels and salted nuts or seeds
Granola products and snack mixtures that contain cereals, nuts, seeds, dried fruit or other edible products
Popsicles, juice bars, ice waters, ice cream, ice milk, sherbet, frozen yogurt or frozen pudding, including non-dairy substitutes
Fruit bars, rolls or drops or similar fruit-based snack foods
Cakes, muffins, pies, pastries, tarts, cookies, doughnuts, brownies and croissants with sweetened filling or coating
Pudding, including flavoured gelatine, mousse, flavoured whipped dessert product or any other products similar to pudding
There's a few other things, but that's the bulk of it 🤪
