Well, surely just one little capitulation will win Trump’s favour, and not sent him the message that Canada’s weak and he should push for more, right?

The first payments from Canada’s digital services tax, which was enacted last year and applies retroactively to 2022

-Give me your lunch money.
-Ok

So all Canadians are complete pussies? I can’t see how this isn’t a hard fact now

It will be left to Canadians to do the poop he can’t.

Ah yes because the prime minister or president of a country represents the character of every single person in that county.

Guess that means all Americans are egotistic psychopaths.

Because we entrusted our country to a person that cares about one bottom line only and doesn’t actually give a fuck about telling trump to piss off?

That is correct yes

Cowardly. Infuriating. Pathetic. 1 term Carney - fool does understand why he was elected. I’m so pissed. Boycott harder.

I’ll never vote for a Liberal candidate again for as long as I live, regardless of ABC. I don’t give a fuck what the threat is. They’re effectively Democrats. Fundamentally worthless from soul to spine.

No, Europe’s just the same

Don’t forget tgat the government of Canada was created to protect the interests of a blanket retailer. A part of our heritage

Listen, Canadians, you don’t need those tariffs-shmariffs. Just stop buying US shit. That’s it. No matter if that is alcohol or software. Stop buying it. And tariffs become just a stupid number for stupid Trump to drool upon.

Buying stuff from the US isn’t affected by US tariffs!?

Tariffs would be when you sell things to the US, and even then you’re not the one paying them, it’s just the US government charging its citizens extra to buy things

I know it’s tough to wrap one’s head around an idea so fervently championed yet obviously self-defeating XD

CACO, I guess XD

Guess that means all Americans are egotistic psychopaths.

True fact! (Joking, you make a good point)

Last month, the U.S. and Britain announced a trade deal related to a range of products. But Britain’s 2-per-cent DST was not affected.

In a statement at the time, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. “is disappointed that Britain was unwilling to agree to fully address its discriminatory Digital Services Tax.”

Britain kept theirs. They’d probably argue that they aren’t European, but y’know.

I’m guessing the reason is supply management on dairy.

There’s a large rural Quebecois voting block that really likes supply management. By dropping the DST, Carney can cede something to Trump without pissing them off. The DST doesn’t have the same constituency, so it’ll hurt the LPC less during the next election.

Supply management on dairy. The yanks have hated that for a while, but there’s a bunch of Quebecois dairy farmers who really like it. I’m guessing that Carney is giving up the DST since it doesn’t have a constituency - if that allows him to keep supply management on dairy, it’ll be easier to keep Quebec’s support during the next election.
