“In typical Canadian style, we ignored the Americans.”

Brian Lilley;

Last year, the Trudeau government implemented a 3% tax on any digital services company – think Google, Facebook, or Netflix – that earns more than $20 million in Canada.

The Americans have opposed the tax since it was first proposed and the Biden administration threatened retaliation. In August 2024, the Americans filed a complaint under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement claiming it violated the trade agreement.

  1. Sum it all up with one word… “Smug”. There are children at the helm of this country and that needs to be remedied.
    But I’m not holding my breath. Never underestimate the stupidity of your garden variety Canadian.

  2. Watching the TV news channels this morning.
    Wow, the host on CTV was some pissed, when her news reporter actually said that there were already complaints from the Biden Admin, and that it wasn’t Trump that started this attack on Canada’s Digital Tax.
    She had it so nicely laid out, that this was mean Trump, then her reporter blew her propaganda up, live on air !

    1. My wife watches that crap, can’t stand it. Most of the time it seems to be AM Mediwacky interviewing some grifting uni professor who thinks we don’t shovel enough money at whatever BS lefty research project they’re pretending to work on.

    1. Mark obviously doesn’t get his soup from a can, and has never seen whatever pot his chef uses to cook it. Probably uses actual silverware too, he was born with one in his stupid mouth.

      1. Never flies in a plane, never walks into a building, never rides in a car, doesn’t know what a bus, subway or Go-train is, doesn’t eat with silverware, isn’t aware that much of steel and aluminum is being replaced with plastic (i.e., fossil fuel) but believes in climate change. Your basic red-tie idiot.

    2. Sooooooo, plastic straws and utensils are coming back? Right? Anyone?

      They let this person be in charge of a countries banking system? And True Dough says he can’t do basic math, apparently it’s a Lieberal requirement to be uneducated about everyday stuff (well, they are the elites, well above stuff that affects us commoners).

    3. Honestly, considering who this clown is, what he claims his alleged credentials are, and what he’s hoping to become, on balance that might be the stupidest thing I think I’ve ever heard. Mark Carnage, indeed.

      How a half-wit like that has lucked his way into the halls of power in the first place is baffling.

  3. Just got off the phone this morning with my Buddy in Slave Lake. Here’s his take on that considerable chunk of our population who are belatedly waving the maple leaf for a corrupt, feeble nation that has robbed them of their freedoms and wealth.

    “You know what they’re like? They’re like the guy whose ugly ex-wife took everything he had – his kids, his home, his truck, his savings – but he’s still sucking around and sending her flowers and saying ‘do you think I could still date you now and then’?”

  4. To paraphrase Garden Gnome Barbie, “We have a very special relationship with the neighbours. That’s why we always throw our garbage into their yard.”

  5. I swear to gawd if you told the average (smooth-brained) Hoser that they were going to get a punch in the nose if they didn’t smarten the fck up, they’d still be surprised when they got smoked.
    And to all you assholes who are now saying, “I’m buying Canadian”, go fck your hat you piece of shit.
    What were you thinking before? Wait, I know: “Fck my neighbor. I don’t give a dam if his company goes under as long as I save 3 bucks. He shoulda got a job with the government, like I did.”

  6. Hahaha ha ha … the Biden Admin. … “filed a complaint”.
    Hahahaha ha … and Trump “lowered the BOOM”!

    Dear Canada; compare and contrast … I’ll wait … dum, dum, de, dum, dum, dum …
