I am hopeful this leads to C59 getting repealed. What a garbage piece of legislation that is.

This: "An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 21, 2023 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023"?

That's the one. The digital media tax is censorship by other means. Bill should be amended and that should be removed.This: "An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 21, 2023 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023"?

Oh yah, and I forgot. C18... that's another one that needs to get flushed down the toilet.
I am working down in the States right now and it's nice to get actual choice.

It’s a shit bill. Seems like a short sighted tax grab from my POV.Or this act pulled?
Since other media pay taxes on revenue they collect from advertising, hard to tell those media, "but we'll let Big Online from outside the country do it tax free." I'm not sure a tax exemption to foreign companies making money in Canada would be an easy sell.

I'd support it. I'm tired of my tax dollars going to support second rate news and garbage entertainment.

I suspect it’s cover for the annoyance at the ReArm Europe thing instead of buying stuff here.
Bingo.

Which to be fair 47 has gone out of his way to make everyone leery of buying US kit, so it’s an own goal at this point.

When in doubt with POTUS47, I assume it's not tactical concealment, but rather "surrounded by imbeciles who learn things long after it's revealed".

I am positive the man has dementia.
He could be surrounded by Rhodes scholars for all we know; he still makes irrational decision that often self-sabotage previous stated goals or contradicts previous decisions.
I have to wonder how long until the 25th Amendment comes into play...

I don't even understand how people somehow think it's a bad thing that our Govt is getting challenged on C59?
So far, the entire argument presented is "TrUmP BaD"
I think it's hilarious that our Govt is getting taken to task by a foreign Govt over this stuff.

Being challenged on it is fine. Packing up your toys and leaving the sandbox over it? Not buying it. There is more at play.
Not quite. Just bad faith. They only found out about this now? right…
So far this administration has been all over the place on what it wants.

For the record, my comment was completely separate from my views on C-59.
I think its a terrible attempt to adapt CANCON policies to the internet, which is ridiculous.

The Biden Administration was threatening tariffs when this bill was passed. They were distracted by the election though.
I definitely wouldn’t cry if this tax and its legislation were ditched. Unfortunately because Trump went and put a big target on it, i think it will be harder for Carney to quietly get rid of it, were he so inclined.

One man's "short sighted tax grab" is another's "ending someone's tax holiday that nobody else gets."
