Of course his staff would call it that LOL Trump and his hangars on have to have a "victory". Fortunately...like so much of their celebrating is often debunked a week or 2 later... like the obliterated Iranian nuclear sites I guess what upsets me the most is our side not debunking Trumps 1diotic claims. Then again, I can see us being quiet lest we pi$$ him off too often LOL

There is a big difference between "caving" and being strategic. "They"? The Americans don't "hate" us. This is all a Trump (or his personal puppets) tactic but Carney is not a stupid businessman. He can play as well. Yes, Carney will postpone them but not eliminate them entirely. The European Union has them and some of those countries have a "deal". Carney will just wait for his opportunity.

Canada rescinding Digitals Services act
ExFlyer replied to Barquentine's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Trump said, there were no more negotiations. We Canadians, and therefore the whole world, was fully aware of the DST last year when it was announced. Trump just used it now for reasons only he is privy to. You and I do not know what is going on or being said behind closed doors. -
It may be "just you"? We have what we have because it is what "we" wanted. As I said, most, if not all governments of all parties are not pro active but reactive. They do what people want. We cry and b1tch and moan and yell until the government does something to appease us. They promise and we choose governments based on future promises...whether they are kept or not. I am not supporting the liberal party in any way (and as being a westerner, never have till this last election) but, how can you support the conservatives for the past 10 year when they have had 4 leaders that could not lead or convince Canadians that they can do better. Their promises were not good enough to convince the public 4 ties in a row. Don't be pissed at me...maybe be pissed at the conservative party an the leaders of it. Maybe the conservative party needs to find a leader that can convince Canadians?? My point is and was, anyone can say things are "broken" and often only because they do not agree with the way things are going...according to them.

We, as a nation, did not buy this. "Art" has been sold for millennia and has nothing to do with any nation. "Chinese cryptocurrency businessman Justin Sun, who last week purchased a $6.2 million art piece consisting solely of a banana duct taped to a wall, ate the banana" https://www.npr.org/2024/11/29/nx-s1-5210800/6-million-banana-art-piece-eaten

And who would shovel the snow in downtown Toronto? Who would do the sandbagging every year in Winnipeg area? Who would help with flooding in Quebec every year? Who would evacuate all the indigenous villages every fire season? Who would do the 9000 SAR actions every year? Who wild do the almost 2000 medical evacuations the RCAF does every year? Who would do the aid to civil powers every year? Yeah, you get a lot more out to of the military than watching a parade every Canada Day.

Who ever said anyone was asking trump to make concessions. -
Canada rescinding Digitals Services act

Appease the bully and get it done after the trade negotiations are sealed. Too easy and makes sense. A business decision. -
There is a difference between "broken" and not agreeing with or not as you would like it. Government does what the public asks or demands. Rarely is government, of any political party, pro active. Calling the Liberal government a "dumpster fire" is nonsensical and forgetting that Harpers government collapsed, prorogued parliament and called an election too and lost as a result. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/15/stephen-harper-master-manipulator

Yes you do. 4 election losses. 3 leaders quit 1 leader lost the election and his personal seat That leader that lost kicked out another member in that won so he can run in his place. Thinking they know how to run the country but most Canadians do not believe them Whined and cried about Carney and what he is doing and yet they all voted for Bill C2 anyway Wallowing in self pity all the time Being sad to be LOSERS all the time Yup, you conservatives sure do have a lot to complain about...all about themselves Ha Ha Ha Oh and yes, I told you what the liberals have done in another post but for sure you have forgotten that but, here it is again https://www.thespec.com/opinion/contributors/despite-what-the-haters-say-the-federal-liberals-can-boast-of-many-accomplishments/article_beeecb61-3901-5ed1-a86b-f47c00efce7c.html So, what have the conservatives done in the past while??? Oh yeah, diddly shit. But, in this thread about Ontario MP's (which are mostly conservatives) getting pay rises, you whine conservatives are hard done by?? LOL Did not even try to pass a private members bill and voted against every bill but it did not matter because they passed anyway LOL Yup, sucks to be on the caboose of the power train.... for the next 4 + years LOL

"WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly announced that he will cease all discussions with Canada over any new trade agreements, before immediately following that up stating that discussions have resumed despite never having stopped. Moments later, Trump took to social media specifically to denounce and formally end the discussions while pondering which European country is Canada." "“Canada is a very SNEAKY, very weasel nation. I call them Weasel Canada. Everyone does. Not beaver, weasel. I’m ending trade discussions with them. We don’t need them. So-called experts say maybe we need Canada. Who are these experts? PERVERTS? CRIMINALS? We don’t know. So-called experts say we should trade with them. I don’t think so. European leaders have been covering for them for too long. These maps of Europe? NO CANADA. Where is it in Europe? No one knows. I don’t see it. Maybe Canada isn’t a real country? Ok." https://www.thebeaverton.com/2025/06/trump-ends-trade-talks-with-canada-resumes-trade-talks-with-canada-ends-trade-talks-with-canada-demands-to-know-which-european-country-is-canada/

her are some facts...read em and weep LOSER LOL Harper sold us out to China.... That’s the way the Harper government, by way of a release quoting Trade Minister Ed Fast, announced that it had decided to ignore widespread public opposition, parliamentary opposition from the NDP, Greens and ... an ongoing First Nations legal challenge, and even division at its own cabinet table and grassroots membership and proceed with the ratification of the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA). Canada’s ratification of the deal means it will enter into force on October 1. And once that happens, we’ll be locked into the terms of FIPA for a minimum of 31 years. https://canadians.org/analysis/harper-sneaks-through-canada-china-fipa-locks-canada-31-years/ "Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended months of market uncertainty by approving the foreign takeovers of Calgary-based Nexen Inc. and Progress Energy Resources Corp." https://globalnews.ca/news/317050/harper-government-gives-approval-to-nexen-and-progress-takeover-deals-2/ "Harper government cuts secret deal to renege on job and production commitments, The Conservative government has betrayed working families in Hamilton and Nanticoke" https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/harper-government-betrays-canadians-steelworkers-157085 "list of companies sold includes nickel giants Inco and Falconbridge, acquired by Brazil’s CVRD and Switzerland’s Xstrata for $17.6 billion and $17.3 billion, respectively; and steelmakers such as Dofasco, Algoma, AltaSteel and Stelco, swallowed up by Luxembourg’s Arcelor, India’s Essar Global, Sweden’s SCAW and US Steel." https://gfmag.com/news/features-canada-for-sale/

Trump and his staff knew about this tax long ago. This is just another Trump negotiation tactic to show his brood he is King LOL I think ya'll need to know what the digital tax really is.. It is not a Canadian company income tax, they pay that too. The digital services tax applies at a rate of 3% on revenue earned from: Certain digital services that rely on engagement, data, and content contributions of Canadian users Certain sales or licensing of Canadian user data Canadian digital services revenue is calculated on a calendar year basis and is earned from: Online marketplace services Online advertising services Social media services Certain sales of user data https://www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/excise-taxes-duties-and-levies/digital-services-tax/about-tax.html https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/D-1.65/
