EXKLUSIV: Mit digitaler Steuer verschrottet der US -Botschafter, er sei zuversichtlich, dass wir eine Vereinbarung haben werden „

> Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Monday that he had always expected the digital services tax to be a casualty of the trade negotiations with the U.S., so it was pointless for the government to collect that tax revenue.

> “It’s something that we expected, in the broader sense, that would be part of a final deal,” said Carney, without explaining why the decision to scrap the tax was made only hours before it came into effect at midnight on Sunday.

> “It doesn’t make sense to collect tax from people and then remit them back, so it provides some certainty. And as I just said, negotiations have restarted. We’re going to focus on getting the best deal for Canadians. We’re making progress,” said Carney.

How silly do Carney critics look now? To think that there wasn’t always a plan behind these tactics just demonstrates that we should give our elected officials, especially one as ultra-competent as Mark Carney, the benefit of the doubt.

After all, one of the primary reasons we elected the current federal government, and Mark Carney, was to get the best deal possible with the United States. So let them do their jobs.

This guy knows nothing. The number of times he has said something only for Trump to say or act in the opposite is countless. I remember when he said that the US was moving on from the 51st state talk permanently and then Trump brought It up only a few hours later lol.
