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

So US bond sell off predicted on Monday boys

I’ve never wanted the Digital Services Tax more than right now, lol.

3 % of billions of things is more than 15% of millions of things.

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.

A TACO says what?

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).

Jokes on them. Been torrenting their shit for a couple decades now.

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.

Postgres is very cheap.

VB is garbage and anything using it should have been scrapped decades ago.

You don’t need excel, you could convert to libreoffice spreadsheets, there may be a few functions that need adjustment, but I have found its pretty much feature for feature. There are also so many SQL derivatives mariaDB, mySQL, postgresSQL. There would be a few pains, but as Europe has already realized we need data and software sovereignty

Thats false equivalency. Billions is the larger number and since a billion is 1000x a million, it would be 3% of their $10000 and 15% of your $10. So its their $300 tax vs your $1.50 tax. Sure they are still better off, however (un)fair that may be, but it was more in tax than you actually hold, by a wide margin.

Or course we could, and should, argue it should be reveresed, but thats just yelling in to the wind at this point.

Thank God, he’s finally shuttin’ up

Bye Felicia

The part where “in 7 days we will tell Canada what they have to pay” is going to be interesting.

Best Canada Day gift we could get, I hope he doesn’t go back on it

Can we just ban them?

In Q1 2025, AWS accounted for 17% of Amazon’s overall revenue but over 60% of its operating income.
