It ultimately wouldn’t allow us to be a sovereign nation.” Kean is the Director of the Institute for Technoscience & Society, Ontario Research Chair in Science Policy, and Professor in the Department of Science, Technology & Society and the Graduate Program in Science & Technology Studies at York University, Canada. “Giv­ing up digital tax a step back­ward”. Together they discuss the digital services tax, what the issue is, and how Canada has a huge digital services deficit with the the US and a tax is only a small solution.
