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.

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:
Thank you, I’ve been meaning to download this app and now i I have
Or he created a thing he could trade in exchange for concessions...
Bringo
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.
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.
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.
no, a delay in implementation is absolutely not the same as a never enforced tax
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.
oh yes, the bending over and take it power move... awesome for any time trump throws a tantrum
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
and how is giving in to every trump whim a good strategy to deal with him?
what's next? becoming the 51st state to placate him?
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.
