    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.

      a surface-level “win” that doesn’t actually cost Canada anything.

      Except for billions of dollars of tax revenue.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    Can people stop spamming the “elbow up” crap. I agree with the sentiment but if that’s all you have to say just upvote one of the preexisting comment with it.

    There’s no value having walls of what is essentially the same thing. This a bad Reddit habit people seem to be bringing over.

      The only content using the phrase seems to be yours.
