Those of us in Canada are getting a two-month ‘tax holiday’ on selected items. The complete list of items includes “Jigsaw puzzles, for all ages.”

I didn’t have Jigsaw-puzzle-tax-holiday on my bingo card for this year.

This feels more like a stunt than a policy, and I expect it will be generally perceived as a stunt. That said, I don’t discount the impact of the savings on those who need it most.

Also, my thoughts go out to everyone working on a point-of-sale system trying to get these updates addressed in time, and to those making the difficult edge-case decisions (do they use jigsaws to make 3-d puzzles?).
