Great. The US can fuck right off and when it’s done fucking off, it can fuck off some more. Until the end of time.
Orange baby having a tantrum! Wahhh!!!
I’ve never wanted the Digital Services Tax more than right now, lol.
No problem. The boycott continues. If they don’t pay tax then they are stealing from us, so torrent away.

Now’s a pretty good time to end Microsoft licenses and other crap ass US platforms 🥰
Now is the time to introduce higher Digital Services Tax rate.
I will be so pissed if Carney or anyone negotiating folds on anything. The US started all of this shitstorm. We (Canada) are the aggrieved party in this situation, we were following CUSMA, the US broke that agreement. Fuck the USA. Fuck concessions to the USA. They can fuck off into the Sun. I don’t want or need Netflix, amazon, airbnb, Uber, google, azure, microsoft, apple. I could care less if those companies pull out of Canada.
Yep! I was wondering when my work was gonna shift away from using Microsoft, azure and SharePoint .
I’ve been waiting thirty years

The government and a lot of other companies are absolutely incapable of not using Excel and Azure services. It’s possible they could teach people new tools but databases, tables, excel files, VBA stuff, SQL etc… Is just not going to get changed. Alternatives are way too expensive and the sheer amount of work to make sure every single ETL rule is followed would be absolutely insane. The cybersecurity alone will make it a no go.
No AI will not solve this.
You don’t need excel, you could convert to libreoffice spreadsheets, there may be a few functions that need adjustment, but I have found its pretty much feature for feature. There are also so many SQL derivatives mariaDB, mySQL, postgresSQL. There would be a few pains, but as Europe has already realized we need data and software sovereignty
Postgres is very cheap.
VB is garbage and anything using it should have been scrapped decades ago.

Great news. But my Trump-BS-translator is going haywire: since this is a lie like everything Trump says, next week Carney is going to have some sort of deal with Trump.
Please don’t say that, I am scared Carney with bend over for him if it goes that fast! Luckily e do have a few agencies pushing for this.
Not only are pig fucker mega tech profiting off Canadians tax free, and among the richest companies in the world, they are CIA/US empire militarist enablers/cooperators who will happily enslave Canadians to that empire. The fearmongering you are programmed about CCP allied companies, should be 1000x higher with US’s declared war on Canada, and their tech companies.
Their profit extortion alone (not even revenues) is sufficient to overcome whatever small surpluses Canada has enjoyed over US in good trade. It is categorically treasonous and sickening that Canada’s leadership continues military alignment with US.
A TACO says what?
“I’m taking my toys and going home!”
“You owe me some tariff taxes on those.”
“AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!”
[Canada] has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," Trump said.
Taxing Meta, Apple, and Amazon for business they do in Canada is an attack on the United States?
Not sure what applies o amazon. They do have advertising/sponsored listings, but don’t know if tax applies on overall business.
Amazon Web Services is the world’s most popular cloud provider and where a massive chunk of their profit comes from. Lots of people don’t seem to know about it, but their logistics arms is almost like a side hustle compared to AWS
In Q1 2025, AWS accounted for 17% of Amazon’s overall revenue but over 60% of its operating income.
We didn’t “just announce” it materialized three years ago and makes total sense to have in place from Canada’s POV. Dumbass Trump is wrong and lying or both - yet again.
Best Canada Day gift we could get, I hope he doesn’t go back on it
I guess Carney was getting too much attention as “the Trump whisperer” for his ego to handle, so he wants to punish Canada and put Carney back in his place as he sees it.
I kind of suspected we would see something like this after seeing so much in media about Carney’s success in managing the Trump relationship.
So US bond sell off predicted on Monday boys
We can’t do “business” with an unstable idiot.
It’s best we ignore him, and keep working with countries who aren’t lead by a total shit stain.
As an individual, I’m happy continuing to rapidly cull any American ties I have with brands and services.
Try telling Carney, or your MP, that. My MP is a back bencher do nothing, Brad Rediccop, who has said that he has no plan on doing anything (in more professional words).
