    Trump wants Canada's digital services tax gone before trade talks resume | CBC News

    U.S. President Donald Trump says he's ending all trade discussions with Canada to hit back at Ottawa for slapping a tax on web giants — and he wants it removed before negotiations can begin again.

      [Canada] has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," Trump said.

      Taxing Meta, Apple, and Amazon for business they do in Canada is an attack on the United States?

        We can’t do “business” with an unstable idiot.

        It’s best we ignore him, and keep working with countries who aren’t lead by a total shit stain.

        As an individual, I’m happy continuing to rapidly cull any American ties I have with brands and services.

        Try telling Carney, or your MP, that. My MP is a back bencher do nothing, Brad Rediccop, who has said that he has no plan on doing anything (in more professional words).

          Great news. But my Trump-BS-translator is going haywire: since this is a lie like everything Trump says, next week Carney is going to have some sort of deal with Trump.

            Not sure what applies o amazon. They do have advertising/sponsored listings, but don’t know if tax applies on overall business.

              Why is it only 3%, what is it about being digital that avoids standard tax rates?

                We didn’t “just announce” it materialized three years ago and makes total sense to have in place from Canada’s POV. Dumbass Trump is wrong and lying or both - yet again.

                    I will be so pissed if Carney or anyone negotiating folds on anything. The US started all of this shitstorm. We (Canada) are the aggrieved party in this situation, we were following CUSMA, the US broke that agreement. Fuck the USA. Fuck concessions to the USA. They can fuck off into the Sun. I don’t want or need Netflix, amazon, airbnb, Uber, google, azure, microsoft, apple. I could care less if those companies pull out of Canada.

                      Not only are pig fucker mega tech profiting off Canadians tax free, and among the richest companies in the world, they are CIA/US empire militarist enablers/cooperators who will happily enslave Canadians to that empire. The fearmongering you are programmed about CCP allied companies, should be 1000x higher with US’s declared war on Canada, and their tech companies.

                      Their profit extortion alone (not even revenues) is sufficient to overcome whatever small surpluses Canada has enjoyed over US in good trade. It is categorically treasonous and sickening that Canada’s leadership continues military alignment with US.

                        Amazon Web Services is the world’s most popular cloud provider and where a massive chunk of their profit comes from. Lots of people don’t seem to know about it, but their logistics arms is almost like a side hustle compared to AWS

                                No problem. The boycott continues. If they don’t pay tax then they are stealing from us, so torrent away.

                                  Sure but you take 3% out of my $10 and I have $9.70.

                                  But take 15% out of your $100 and you still have $85.

                                  They can pay their taxes.

                                      See if Drug Fraud can blink the lights a bit.

                                      Recall the ambassador, cut the power, wait for the phone call so you can pass on the new rates (spoiler: it’s 1% higher permanently each time).

                                        No problem. The boycott continues. If they don’t pay tax then they are stealing from us, so torrent away.

                                          The government and a lot of other companies are absolutely incapable of not using Excel and Azure services. It’s possible they could teach people new tools but databases, tables, excel files, VBA stuff, SQL etc… Is just not going to get changed. Alternatives are way too expensive and the sheer amount of work to make sure every single ETL rule is followed would be absolutely insane. The cybersecurity alone will make it a no go.

                                          No AI will not solve this.
