Even the simple things like kicking back and listening to a playlist are not immune to this greedy government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635954\" data-originallang=\"en\"> When will the <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">finance minister</a> wake up, face the music, and finally admit that her new taxes and spending are not worth the cost?</p>",
