June 29, 2025 - Ottawa, Ontario - Department of Finance Canada

Canada’s new government is engaged in complex negotiations on a new economic and security partnership with the United States, focused on getting the best deal for Canadian workers and businesses. Prime Minister Carney has been clear that Canada will take as long as necessary, but no longer, to achieve that deal.

To support those negotiations, the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States. Consistent with this action, Prime Minister Carney and President Trump have agreed that parties will resume negotiations with a view towards agreeing on a deal by July 21, 2025.  

This is from the government of Canada.   Truly a caving if ever there was one. 

Looks like the mighty and much vaunted Canada blinked!!

So the answer is no...you'd rather keep making outlandish claims that are proven wrong every time

Yes. Value of dollar has completely tanked and bond market is getting propped up by the fed Reserve stepping in to buy bonds that nobody wants. This has helped prop the stock market up too. 

Foundation of clay. Record setting deficits coming soon.

Lets remember the history.   Trump told canada that the digital tax was a no go.   Canada said we are doing it.   Trump said we are done talking.   Canada eliminates the digital tax.  

You know you are losing big time when you adversary caves to you?   Is that what you are trying to say here?

Dollar has tanked 10.8% for the year. Adjusted for the devalued dollar, stock market is still way down for the year.
