Here’s the problem...75% of Canada’s exports are to the USA...No play....No pay...

Put them down. Daddy’s home.

Above all, the globalist governors in Ottawa must get their tax.

If one spends time in the Canadian alt media, it is found that most Canadians detest Carney, and are sympathetic with Trump’s stance on tariffs.

“Canadians upset that they won’t be paying higher prices for American goods now because Carney caved”

That’s called a ‘biting off your nose to spite your face” attitude Canada!

[butlerweave]

Didn’t the Liberal party do something so they could dump Carney at anytime ? LOL

[Texas Eagle]

“What do I do with my elbows now????!!!!”

Give your palms a break, eh?

[Tell It Right]

In your opinion, is “digital services tax” a way to separate older Canadians (who expect free healthcare) from younger Canadians (who’d be most likely to pay the digital tax) ?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Hey Canucks!

Ever wonder why everything costs so much more in Canada?

(hint; it’s not shipping)

[JudyinCanada]

Canadian math skills on full display.

“ Maryland’s New Tech Tax Targets Digital Services”

This is somewhat different from Canada’s tax, but still a hit on consumers.

CityNews despises Trump as much as anyone. The idiots can’t see the tax was going hurt Canada more than us.

[llevrok]

Note to Canadians...don’t eat with your elbows on the table (or USA’s trough).

[Wilderness Conservative]

A what point can we finally cut the cord with Canada?

[VanShuyten]

Just a reminder - this tax is in addition to the regular taxes that foreign businesses pay on Canadian income. Foreign banks are also hit with additional taxes.

[frogjerk]

The move, however, is not sitting well with many Canadians from coast to coast. Some people taking their anger out on the federal government’s page on X (formerly Twitter) and many posing the same question: “What do I do with my elbows now????!!!!”

Stick them where the sun don't shine. Now that would be a great skill!

[MotorCityBuck]

Are they really.
Or does creating a story fit a narrative.
I have yet to meet a Canadian that has even mentioned it.
Having dinner with one tonight along with other folks from other countries.
Trump hasn’t even come up.
Guess that’s why they call it a vacation.😉

" Trump also called it a “blatant attack,” before eventually regressing to his usual threats of raising tariffs and making Canada the 51st state"

And look who blinked.

I bet "writer" Socialist Sonia isn't wearing that smirk today.

The only thing that matters:

Canadian oil production 2024 = 5.9 million barrels/day

Canadian oil consumption 2024 = 2.33 million bpd

The rest goes to the US.

How can this be if the US is energy independent? It’s a complicated combination of diluent and the difference between crude and “all liquids”.

Short answer, the US sends light diesel-poor oil to Canada to dilute their thick, heavy, diesel rich oil that then goes south.

And yes, that means the definition of “crude” has been tweaked, starting about 2015 when fracking increased flow of light thin diesel poor “oil”.
