Allowing those companies to choose how they spend their tax dollars..
One main reason why tech companies often go south (or domicile in Ireland) is simply taxation. Very easy to understand.
While any company in Canada generally pays more as a share in taxes, which is a deterrent, there may be some companies who would NOT choose to leave IF, they could choose HOW their tax dollars were spent.
By choosing, I mean publicly beneficial goods which the company would ‘divest’ towards or which would go only to those programs.
On one side of the spectrum is handing over your tax dollars and on the other side is leaving the country.
While that is fairly zero-sum, there might be an opportunity to retain companies ‘in between’ these two cases, where the choice of where those tax dollars go provides utility to the Company for social good reasons.
IF they could choose to spend tax dollars on agreed / negotiated uses.
