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.
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.
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.
What? The digital service tax was for the American corporations to pay.
And they're absolutely never going to raise prices for Canadians to compensate right?
What is the price to use Facebook?
What they charge Canadian advertisers. That cost is then budgeted in the products and services.
Nothing is free.
Hundreds of ads being shoved in your face.
That wasn't the argument OP was making.
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.
Yes it's weird, it is another example of creeping American influence.
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.
Of all the things Carney could concede, this one is the least of my worries.
Canada's sovereignty means that little to you? Your elected representative just got overruled by a foreign leader.
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.
