Love the headline.
Why was Canada even imposing this tariff? Because Trump imposed tariffs.
Going back to the way it's always been? That's somehow a "Win" for Trump!
Republicans will not be taking any questions.

You sure?

The proposed Act would implement the Digital Services Tax (DST) announced in the 2020 Fall Economic Statement, further details of which were presented in Budget 2021. Annex 7 to the Budget set out the policy intention, described the main features of the proposed tax, and invited input from stakeholders.

Canada's Digital Services Tax Act was enacted on June 20, 2024 and came into effect by Order in Council on June 28, 2024. The new legislation imposes a digital services tax of 3% on digital services revenue exceeding C$20 million. As noted below, the first payment is due on June 30, 2025.

@#4 ... Big win? You MAGAT ------- are f@@king DESPERATE....

Exactly.

The only reason this looks "big" is that it is one of the very few "wins" Pres Trump has had in his trade negotiations.

What ever happened to 90 trade deals in 90 days? Those 90 days are up in a couple weeks.

Trump created the problem in the first place. Lol!
That's like crashing my car and then celebrating when I get the radio to work again.

OK, everybody in Canada would have had a new line on their bill each month.
Companies pass along tariffs, correct?
This is really more of a 'big win' for snow monkeys.
