Solid piece from @thewirereport.ca on this week’s #DigitalServicesTax repeal. Thanks to @phalentm.com for including @progresschamber.org's reaction. thewirereport.ca/2025/11/19/d...
📅 This week in Canadian tech policy:
1) Will PM @mark-carney.bsky.social repeal the Digital Services Tax as promised?
2) Will the #CRTC modernize #CanCon or double down on outdated rules?

3/8 The #Carney government has fully embraced #LNG, restoring a tax credit that expired in 2024.
It also "cements" the repeal of the consumer #CarbonTax, the reversal of #capital-gains #tax changes, and the end of the #DigitalServicesTax.
#CdnPoli #LNG
Unsupervised kids eh?
How about unsupervised (aka unregulated) mega/MAGA billionaires ( #Meta, #Alphabet , #X etc) given full reign to make as much $$ as possible while operating their sites like the Wild West & with no impunity.

7/10 The signatories demand Carney revive the Digital Services Tax that Liberals killed in June under Trump threats.
The DST would force Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb to pay 3% on revenues from Canadian users.

3/31 Despite major Canadian concessions - stronger border security, increased defense spending, participation in Trump's 'Golden Dome' missile defense, and rescinding the Digital Services Tax - the U.S. refuses to remove tariffs.

Bring back the #DigitalServicesTax ASAP. @mark-carney.bsky.social
Aside from 50% tariffs on steel & aluminum, a blanket 35% is the highest US tariff on a G7 country.
Note: France, Italy, Spain, Austria, India, Portugal, Turkey, the UK & more all have their own #DigitalServicesTax in place, with many more proposed & on the way.

We are all keeping it up - but what's the point, when the federal government gives it all away by bending to Trump's demands? #BillC-2 #BillC-5 #DigitalServicesTax - which, btw needs to be voted on in the House to be rescinded!
#Europeans work hard to earn a living and to provide for their families. But ultra-rich #TechBros owning digital giants are just raking in record breaking profits,without contributing to society all with the support from US Pres.Trump
It's time to stand up to them+make them pay a #DigitalServicesTax
#Canada 🇨🇦 should break off ALL negotiations with the #USA, reimpose the #DigitalServicesTax & immediately impose retaliatory #tariffs.
& not waiver unless & until #Trump starts negotiating in good faith.
I would even go further & impose an export blockade on copper, steel & aluminum.
🧵 2/2 End
So, #Trump was angry about #Canada’s 🇨🇦 #DigitalServicesTax, & broke of #trade negotiations. Canada 🇨🇦 caved & rescinded the tax to continue good faith negotiations.
So what does #Trump do? Impose a 50% #tariff on all imported #copper, which affects Canada 🇨🇦 the most.
F*ck this guy!

Poilievre was vehemently against the #DigitalServicesTax but now that he sees political value in it, he criticizes the Government who got rid of something he & his party opposed.
What's next? Bitching about how much he misses the carbon tax? #cdnpoli
’He also said his concerns have been further bolstered by Carney’s decision to rescind the #DigitalServicesTax that targeted American tech giants, as the prime minister and Trump undertake what he calls “secret” trade negotiations with no parliamentary scrutiny.’
#Canada #CDNPoli #ElbowsUp
To my previous post. #Canada plays the long game. @mark-carney.bsky.social is playing chess with a chicken who just shat on the board and strutted off "triumphantly."
We know this, the #DigitalServicesTax isn't gone, it never was. We're biding our time...and bringing friends. 😉
