    Just a sidenote, Austria was as much victim as it was perpetrator under the nazi regime.

    Sure, after they were a perpetrator and supported them for literally the entire war, they fell victim. Just like Russia, etc.

    You don’t get to side with Nazi’s/fascists even once, and then claim victim-hood.

      Maybe I will email mine then if you know nothing is going to happen? Brad Reddicop is a joke and a conservative.

        No, I guess being well read and having empathy kind of allow me to consider how things affect other Canadians who are not me?

          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.

          It only applies to a few enormous corporations, that mostly generate revenue through ad sales.

          Would Canadian companies really all have increased their Facebook ad budgets over this? I kinda doubt it, tbh

            And correct.

            So far, the replies have been “everyone should just drop all American services, that’s a minor detail for IT” and “a trillion dollar trade negotiation isn’t actually about jobs.”

            I get the kneejerk reaction but damn, this is silly bordering on depressing.

                    Try sending an actual written letter: maybe it will be a little bit attention because in this day and age of e-mail, it’s actual paper letters that are oddities that get people’s attention.

                      We don’t know what the final trade agreement will be.

                      It doesn’t matter since Trump can reneg on it at any moment as he did with the previous one

                      What Carney did here is signal trump that he will chicken out even faster than trump does at any tartrum he throws

                        Becuase it maaaaaaybe dissuades SOME people from buying the service so there’s maaaaaaybe less revenue for the mega corps.

                        So yea… It maybe kinda sorta… Hurts mega corps, but it absolutely is a tax paid by Canadians.

                        Now you might say the tax is good because it funds shit for Canadians, but that’s a separate argument.

                        So yea, this is maybe? good for Canadians, since Canadians are getting absolutely FUCKED by anything digital / mobile / internet related.

                        If anything I’d love to see the Canadian market forced open for US telecoms, because as shitty as telecom is in the US its far FAR worse in Canada.

                            So despite the fact that you don’t have proximity to the issue, you’re able to use your reasoning and knowledge of the matter to come up with a valid opinion we all have to respect. But you assume I am not in close proximity to the issue, so I’m not allowed to do that. Is that about right? Just want to make sure we’re on the same page here

                                  This seems really premature. I dislike Carney’s policies for a bunch of reasons, but it’s premature to shit on him for this. We don’t know what the final trade agreement will be.

                                  The last time Trump threw one of these tantrums, NAFTA morphed into USMCA without much of a hit to our economy (afaiu). If our government can repeat that success while we’re diversifying our economy away from the US then that’s a win.

                                  Well, there was this thing a couple of weeks ago when international law as well as agreed upon nuclear safeguards and processes were well and truly shredded by a genocidal maniac, then he came out tutting against the guys that got attacked out of the blue just like every other G7 lapdog. So far, unimpressed.

                                          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.

                                          That’s fine, it allows Canadian companies (that pay tax on money earned in Canada) to compete
