OTTAWA – Canada’s insistence on taxing American tech companies for Canadian-sourced revenue has prompted the U.S. to walk away from ongoing trade negotiations.
In a social media post on Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced an immediate suspension of trade and tariff talks with Canada due to the Digital Services Tax (DST) – describing it as “egregious” and a “direct and blatant attack” on the U.S.
“Based on this egregious tax, we are hereby terminating all discussions on trade with Canada, effective immediately,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial. “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.”
In response, Canada had little to say regarding Trump’s statement.
“The Canadian government will continue to engage in these complex negotiations with the United States in the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses,” read the one-sentence statement from the PMO.
Ottawa has been under intense pressure to repeal the DST ahead of Monday’s deadline requiring online service providers to make good on retroactive payments on revenues collected since 2022 – a $2 billion tax bill the finance department confirmed this week is still due.

Who’s your Daddy, Canada?
LOLOL
I thought it was Daylight Savings Time.
How is it legal to be retroactive on a tax that never existed, so was never collected?
These US companies could go bankrupt over something that wasn’t supposed to be done.
It’s like requiring a check from Canada for all the nuclear protection and protection services against Mexico invading Canada, over the past 200+ years.
But we should make them take their geese back.
The Great White North will experience FAFO, eh
We have been protecting Canada against invasion by the Bahamas for the past 300 years. They don’t have enough money to pay for that.
Just for that, 100% tarriff on their goods, effective immediately!
Good. Canada has never even funded the 2% of their GDP for their own defense which they agreed to as a NATO member in 2014. Now it’s up to 5%. Either pay up, or get kicked out. They’re nothing but a bunch of slackers and leeches.
““The Canadian government will continue to engage in these complex negotiations with the United States in the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses,” read the one-sentence statement from the PMO.”

Negotiations?
You already “negotiated”.
Now you find out.
Don't WORRY... President Trump will definitely PUT the "SCREWS to 'EM" and they will LEARN THEIR LESSON!
The Canadian government will continue to engage in these complex negotiations with the United States in the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses,”
Well, apparently NOT!
Canada is being very obnoxious to the US in other ways too:
They want to destroy America from the inside. Now Iranian sleeper agents line up on our doorstep - and an ally could be set to unleash them all
“A shocking wave of Iranian regime insiders — including suspected members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — have quietly moved to Canada in recent years, stoking fears of sleeper cells poised to strike targets across North America.“
Not to mention all of the CCPeers in Canada.
We should charge them if they come crying to the US for military security.
Canadians had better vote these leftists out or they’re on their own,
But we’ll take Alberta if they wish to leave this madness.

They’re posers that have been propped up for far too long.
10 yrs of Liberal incompetence for Canada’s military funding.
They’re hosers that have been hopped up for far too long.
We have been protecting Canada against invasion by the Bahamas
Haha, good one!
Canada had the banks there block the accounts of the trucker's who participated in the protests back in February 2022. The people of Canada should have a right to block the government's bank account.
