    Calm down. This was the same tactic sheinbaum uses every day. Manufactured chaos over a nothing tax that wasn’t even enforced for years.it was a throw away deal to distract Donald cuz he’s so dumb and easily distracted. ‘I won!’ Meanwhile the export market and Canada stocks took a sweet uptick. Donald is none the wiser as to why. He’s just running off to admire himself in the mirror again.

      a surface-level “win” that doesn’t actually cost Canada anything.

      Except for billions of dollars of tax revenue.

      It was never enforced since 2022. It was a diversion tactic.

        You seem to accuse a lot of people of bending over in your comment history and seem pretty keen on violence.

        You’re not here for discussion. You’re here to bait. Get bent.

          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.

          We already know Trump’s bluster isn’t about the DST or illegal border crossing or fentynal or any of the other things he’s been whining about.

          It’s about him throwing his (considerable) weight around and making himself feel more important.

          And about finding new ways to scam his followers by showing off how super important he is.

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

            That foreign corporations would pay out of their Canadian sales.

            Which would certainly cause them to increase the fees they charge their Canadian customers so they don’t have to reduce their profits.

                I’m well aware that’s what they might do to offset their costs, but OP saying that the corporations us Canadians will have to pay the tax is plain wrong. They’re probably conflating it with tariffs.

                And sorry ‒ off topic question. I haven’t lived in Canada in years, but do we really say “y’all” now? That’s kinda weird.

                  I don’t agree, but even if I grant it do you feel great about a hostile foreign leader dictating your country’s laws? The DST was finished legislation, legally passed by Canadian’s elected representatives. And now it’s gone. Because Trump says so.

                    Canada’s sovereignty means that little to you? Your elected representative just got overruled by a foreign leader.

                      I keep calling for a general strike, how is that violence?

                      Also. no I’m not here for discussion because Amerigans let that stage lapse, the entire world is in terrible peril thanks to your collective selfishness and toxic individualism

                      if you think thoughts and prayers can get you out of this hole, keep at it and continue to deny your imminent fall into fascism

                        no, a delay in implementation is absolutely not the same as a never enforced tax

                          Nah. Carney made a strategic decision to appease a toddler.

                            Between selling out Canada’s sovereignty and the NATO target he’s doing a lot of appeasing. I don’t think he deserves all the grace you’re giving him.

                              What they charge Canadian advertisers. That cost is then budgeted in the products and services.

                              Nothing is free.

                                Yes it’s weird, it is another example of creeping American influence.
