This is how it goes when you appease bullies. They demand more. First, it was about "fentanyl and illegal crossings." Then, it was about steel and defense spending. And now it's the digital services tax, one of the few tools we have for protecting Canadian media. Carney will likely fold, again.

Poilievre would require a referendum for every federal tax increase???
First, a referendum would be incredibly expensive (electoral reform would have cost $300 million, for example)
Second, good luck ever raising taxes again (including on the rich!)

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

Can Canada really afford the promised tax cuts?
As each federal party looks to cut taxes for Canadians, it’s exposed a push-and-pull with bringing down the deficit. Read more.

i feel like the ndp is just grasping at straws and it shows how jagmeet has completed a much longer process of hollowing out any convictions the party once had.
i don’t want four years of liberal majority, but it may be the ndp’s last chance to reinvent itself as a real left-wing alternative.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
