If you are upset by this fact, you can support your local Canadian artists by viewing their work here, instead of on Netflix, Google, Meta:

Or he created a thing he could trade in exchange for concessions…

This isn’t a cave. This is giving a narcissist a surface-level “win” that doesn’t actually cost Canada anything. We’ll all learn next month that it was never about the DST.

Or, if you actually understand how the global economy works (and is currently being held hostage by an infant), and you still just want to support Canadiam artists, you can support them this way. Carney did better than PP would have done.

I was mad at first but on reflection I think you may be right, and hope this is subtle jiu-jitsu, so to speak. We’ll see.

Did we think we would be advantaged by choosing a person ideologically opposite to Trump?
Hes going to be a bastard to us because hes a vindictive piece of shit, we should have kowtowed like the debt laden ideologues we are.
Buy VVL, because its 80% USA,

We expected this. If he actually took on Big Tech, it would scare the hell out of Canadian big tech companies too, and kiss that corporate funding goodbye.
Still, it is disappointing.

You might be giving it too much credit. It might not quite be ju-jitsu, but I’ll say that it might be making the best of what’s around. People need to understand how completely unhinged the US has become and realize that the rest of the planet is dealing with a country that doesn’t see past the grift it’s committing on it’s own people to make a quick buck. I never thought i would support a WEF banker, but right now Carney is the best weapon Canada has against the level of short sighted corruption the US wholeheartedly voted for.

Carney sure seems like he’s in a hurry to use any excuse to cut a tax. Letting Trump dictate Canada’s internal policy is one hell of a win to give away.

Y’all are remembering that it’s us Canadians that will be paying this tax, right? It’s not going to affect any company’s bottom line in the slightest.

Except for billions of dollars of tax revenue.

What? The digital service tax was for the American corporations to pay.

Can people stop spamming the “elbow up” crap. I agree with the sentiment but if that’s all you have to say just upvote one of the preexisting comment with it.
There’s no value having walls of what is essentially the same thing. This a bad Reddit habit people seem to be bringing over.
The only content using the phrase seems to be yours.

Which would be, in practice, very difficult to enforce. These companies excel in lowering overhead and avoiding taxes. The very fact that brands ike facebook and google are available in nearly every country should tell you the level of coercive power and wealth they actually have.
I’m not happy about it either, but it is entirely possible that this was a tactic or diversion.

And they’re absolutely never going to raise prices for Canadians to compensate right?

That wasn’t the argument OP was making.
