What, did Carney not sufficiently grovel at the WC final?
“Trump raises taxes on Americans yet again.”
Come on Canada, put a tax on services by 50%. I bet Netflix, Google, Amazon and Apple will have talk with Trump.
We had that ready to be implemented. Then the current government killed it.

Carney will say “elbows up” then offer the USA concessions.
Gee doesn’t that sound familiar. Perhaps he and people like Chuck Schumer are part of the same club.
The 50 per cent rate is being imposed in response to what a senior administration official described as Canada’s retaliation against U.S. trade policy and its discrimination against U.S. motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.
Funny, because just about two days ago he said it was a response to smoke. It’s almost like he’s a demented old man who can only remember he’s angry but not what about.
Time to cut off hydro, oil and potash.
Hit us where it really hurts.
Cut off maple syrup.
To do that properly, we’ll also need Maine, Vermont, and a chunk of New York. Maybe a new border at the 43rd or 42nd parallel. Boston might be okay with it.
They’ll just corn syrup that shit.
I believe US gets most of its aluminum from Canada
Yes, from Quebec. They have a huge surplus of hydro electric.
Well, those are tariffs. It’s the US already cutting them all by themselves.
If this doesn’t bring American booze back to Canadian stores, I don’t know what will.
Fuck that! That shit can rot.
Hey Coors is yours
Don’t blame us for that swill.
“If you don’t clean up this mess I caused, I’ll hit my kids every time you try and help them!”
I suppose the tariffs will cause some decrease in Canadian exports to the US, resulting in some economic suffering, but as we find other markets, the US tariffs will become increasingly irrelevant to everyone but Americans.
yes bring back the digital tax
Was so disappointed when Carney backed down on that tax. Goes to show that there’s nothing to be gained by playing nice.
Thank God, the air will soon be breathable in new York then obviously
