I didn't realize we were actually going to have a Liberal MP be stupid enough to echo what many online leftists are claiming, that Canada didn't cave to Donald Trump on the Digital Services Tax. In fact, this is now something that Liberal MP Dr. Hendy Fry is trying to claim. She's the oldest MP currently in Parliament, and she should know better than to speak out on this. Because the Liberals absolutely did cave on the DST. It was a stupid thing for them to implement in the middle of negotiations, and all they got for getting rid of it was coming back to the negotiating table.
00:00:00.000Hey guys, I didn't realize we were actually going to have a Liberal MP be stupid enough to echo what many online leftists are claiming,
00:00:09.940that Canada didn't cave to Donald Trump on the digital services tax.
00:00:14.400In fact, this is just a negotiating tactic.
00:00:17.520This is now something that Liberal MP Dr. Hendy Fry is trying to claim.
00:00:22.540She's actually, I believe, the oldest MP currently in Parliament, and she's been there for a very long time.
00:00:28.200So she should know better than to speak out on this, because the Liberals absolutely did cave on the DST.
00:00:35.080It was a stupid thing for them to implement in the middle of negotiations, and all they got for getting rid of it was coming back to the negotiating table.
00:00:45.480There are literally clips of Mark Carney being asked, did you get anything other than negotiations resuming from getting rid of the DST?
00:00:52.500And he just said, it's a long process.
00:00:54.140Dr. Hendy Fry legitimately tried to say that we're not playing Chinese checkers, we're playing chess.
00:01:03.640You're bad at chess if you're trying to play chess.
00:01:06.240It was stupid to try and put a new tax, mostly on only American companies, in the middle of a negotiation when the point is trying to lower barriers from both sides.
00:01:14.600Because if they had put the DST on the table saying, we will implement if you don't do this, then maybe you're negotiating and you're being smart about it.
00:01:22.960They just dumped it onto the floor in the room, said, deal with it, Donald.
00:01:28.100And then Trump just flipped the table and said, okay, we're not doing trade anymore.
00:01:31.560And then within 48 hours, 72 hours, Mark Carney says, we've gotten rid of it.
