    U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he's terminating all trade discussions with Canada effective immediately.

    "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period," Trump said in a social media post.

    He says he's pulling back from the bilateral trade discussions because Canada plans to move ahead with its digital services tax (DST), which requires web giants pay a special tax.

    Set to take effect on June 30, the DST requires U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users — a policy enacted by former prime minister Justin Trudeau's government that the Parliamentary Budget Office projects will bring in billions of dollars in revenue.

    This is the equivalent of that obnoxious kid in the neighbourhood saying they're taking their basketball home and no one can play basketball any more .... then after he leaves, someone else brings another basketball anyway.

      Is this the country version of DARVO? We killed one of their citizens in an ICE concentration camp, so now instead of apologizing we're lashing out at them? Cool cool cool

        "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying..."

        How has he still not learned that it is Americans and American businesses that pay the tariffs.

        He knows.

        He also knows that if he just repeats things people will believe them, even in spite of evidence they can see, feel and touch.

            He knows, but he also knows that his base is too dumb to recognize it, so he lies because raising taxes on Americans is unpopular.

              Canada needs to start cashing in their US Bonds. Let's watch the US economy start to crash.

                It should be a lot higher, honestly. Encourage building Canadian services and using European services instead of relying on predatory American monopolies.

                    3% of revenue is a substantial number.

                    However, even better:

                    The tax, which will take effect on 30 June and be applied retroactively from 2022, will impact both domestic and international companies, meaning American giants Amazon, Google, Meta, Airbnb and Uber will have to start payments from Monday.

                            I'm not certain what he knows or does not know. In any case, his message to MAGA is clear, Canada will pay, and they'll believe it.

                            I mean, he did make Mexico pay for the wall that he built. Right guys? He did, didn’t he? Fox News said that he did, and they wouldn’t lie, right?!?

                                It's not so much whether or not he knows it, so much as how much he cares. He knows what he says will get his base riled up, and that's what he likes. It strokes his ego and gives him more power.

                                      Canada geese are my favorite bird. I see them by the lake all the time. They are perfectly well-behaved, until you deliberately try to piss them off.

                                        I hope not. Please do it. tRump and his shit-sucking base only give a shit when the leopard is dousing them and theirs in hot sauce. If crashing and burning this fucker and our country is what it takes to end him and them, don't wait! Do it slowly, like someone shredding important documents.

                                        Bonus points if they or anyone does it each time this regime tries to lie or bury that pressure point. Rich people back this fuck-squad because they care about two things: their money and their lives. Threaten one and/or the other until they abandon him!

                                          U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he's terminating all trade discussions with Canada effective immediately.

                                          "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period," Trump said in a social media post.

                                          He says he's pulling back from the bilateral trade discussions because Canada plans to move ahead with its digital services tax (DST), which requires web giants pay a special tax.

                                          Set to take effect on June 30, the DST requires U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users — a policy enacted by former prime minister Justin Trudeau's government that the Parliamentary Budget Office projects will bring in billions of dollars in revenue.

                                          Ah yes. So after that bottle episode called "A Visit to Iran", it looks like the people making the show want to pick up the Canada War plot thread again. I'm guessing the dumbass protagonist threatens Canada a bit, before giving up and claiming victory. These showmakers are running out of ideas.
