Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services tax

Duh. No one elected them to go elbows down. Gonna be a short lived minority.
You're viewing a single thread.
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
Then why would Trump object to it then?
Because it targets his buddies Zuck and Besos.
Does it target the billionaire tech bros or will Canadians pay it? Which one is it?? If Canadians are gonna pay it - why would Trump care? If it targets billionaire bros - big whoop! It’s so small it doesn’t even register.
Canadians pay it and are hopefully turned to other options, smaller companies, and hopefully Canadian ones. That would drive Amazon's business down, and that hurts the billionaires more than the tax.
That’s fine, it allows Canadian companies (that pay tax on money earned in Canada) to compete
You can stop copy and pasting this, it's not true
