Twitter users are mocking Conservative Leader Stephen Harper鈥檚 suggestion that other parties would place a tax on Netflix, while NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has already said he would do no such thing.

Mulcair responded to an assertion Harper made in an online ad on Wednesday, in which the Conservative leader said other parties 鈥渉ave left the door wide open鈥� to taxing digital services like Netflix and YouTube.

鈥淲e have no plan to bring in such a tax,鈥� Mulcair said on Thursday. He also accused Harper of going back on 2011 campaign promises not to tax iPod sales or income trusts.

鈥淓very time he promises not to tax something, that鈥檚 actually a clue that that鈥檚 something he is going to tax,鈥� Mulcair added.

In Harper鈥檚 video, he rather stiffly proclaims his love for streaming movies and TV shows. 鈥淥ne of my all-time favourites is 鈥楤reaking Bad,鈥欌�� he says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 even available on some online streaming services, if you鈥檝e never seen it.鈥�

He then suggests his opponents 鈥渨ant to tax digital streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 100 per cent against the Netflix tax,鈥� Harper says. 鈥淎lways have been, always will be.鈥�

Harper has said in the past that he would oppose a tax on Netflix and other streaming services. However, a line in the shows the Conservatives were seeking input from consultants on the possibility of taxing 鈥渆-commerce sales to Canadians by foreign-based vendors.鈥�

Netflix says it鈥檚 not required to charge GST to Canadian customers because the company has no employees or assets in Canada.

On Wednesday, Harper quickly came under fire on Twitter for raising fears of a Netflix tax when the other parties have made no such claims.

Others openly mocked Harper and his proclaimed love for 鈥淏reaking Bad鈥� by suggesting fictional Conservative-themed TV shows for Netflix, using the hashtag #HarperANetFlixShow.
