Stephen Harper has released a short video online in which he says that he is opposed to a 鈥淣etflix tax.鈥�

The 54-second clip, filmed with the Netflix logo in the background, starts off with the Conservative leader saying he 鈥渓oves movies and TV shows鈥� and that one of his 鈥渁ll-time favourites鈥� is 鈥淏reaking Bad.鈥�

Harper goes on to say that 鈥渟ome politicians want to tax digital streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.鈥�

鈥淛ustin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair have left the door wide open to doing just that,鈥� he adds, referring to the Liberal and NDP leaders.

鈥淥nly our Conservative Party can be trusted to focus on the needs of Canadian consumers and to keep your taxes low,鈥� Harper concludes.

Liberal spokesperson Cameron Ahmad called the video a distraction and said that 鈥渁ny suggestion that the Liberal Party supports a Netflix tax is nonsense.鈥�

The new video isn鈥檛 the first time the Conservatives have accused the opposition of being open to a tax on a popular consumer product.

A 2011 attack ad accused the Liberals of planning a $75 "iPod tax" that would apply to smartphones, PVRs, MP3 players and "just about anything with a hard drive."

That came after the Liberals and NDP voted in favour of a House of Commons committee report that recommended expanding fees collected on behalf of recording artists, from blank CDs and tapes, to devices with internal memories.

The Liberals鈥� Marc Garneau later said that his party did not support such an iPod levy, calling it 鈥渘ot sustainable in a world of changing technology."

Although many may not know that Harper is a TV fan, he made cameo in the show Murdoch Mysteries in 2011, shortly before it was cancelled.
