Canada’s digital services tax and online regulation bills are likely Trump trade targets
January 23, 2025
The Liberal government has spent years touting its efforts to make tech giants pay. Now, those pieces of legislation could be a target of the Trump administration – particularly the digital services tax that requires large tech companies to make a hefty retroactive payment in June.The heads of the biggest U.S. tech companies attended Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday. They included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook and Google’s Sundar Pichai, as well as Tesla CEO and vocal Trump supporter Elon Musk.

Scrap Bill C-18. Don’t give any money to foreign owned media (Post Media). Make disseminating propaganda illegal. This must include AI generated and deep fake videos. Ban all un-moderated media especially social media like: X, Truth Social, and all Meta products. If they can’t follow Canadian laws, they ain’t welcome. Blue Sky and the other moderated social media can replace them all.
Then classify Elon Musk a national security threat and ban him and his companies from operating in or above Canada. Shoot down his fucking satellites!
