Trump Cuts Off Trade Talks With Canada Over Digital Services Tax
President Donald Trump on Friday said he was 'terminating ALL discussions on Trade' with Canada over the country's new digital services tax that aims to collect billions of dollars from American tech giants like Meta and Amazon, starting on Monday. 'We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, 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 posted on Truth Social. The president then said he was canceling all trade discussions with America's northern neighbor due to the 'egregious Tax.' He added 'We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period,' before adding his trademark sign-off, 'Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Canada's DST is a 3% tax on large tech companies with more than about $800 million in annual revenue. It targets companies involved in social media services and online advertising, which puts tech giants like Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, Amazon, and Google-parent Alphabet on the hook for payments. The first tax payment is due on Monday, and is retroactive to sales made since the start of 2022. The Wall Street Journal estimated that initial payment would be around $3 billion for the collective U.S. firms being taxed. Upon the president's post on Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's office shared a brief response. 'The Canadian government will continue to engage in these complex negotiations with the United States in the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses,' his office said.

What is Canada's digital services tax — and why does Trump dislike it so much?
In the last few weeks and months, U.S. President Donald Trump has given a number of rationales for escalating the trade dispute between Canada and the United States. On Friday, he zeroed in on Canada's digital services tax — a new levy expected to cost the largest American tech giants billions of dollars in the coming years after it kicks in on Monday. International trade lawyer William Pellerin was only shocked the U.S. president didn't bring it up sooner. "It's actually quite surprising that it took them this long to make a big stink about this issue," Pellerin, who works for McMillan LLP, told CBC News Network on Friday. "If the U.S. was going to take a run at this and really has had a beef with Canada on this issue for a really long time, they really had no choice but to escalate that issue at the last minute now." Here's what you need to know about the tax, which has been a thorn in the side of the Canada-U.S. relationship for years. Canada's digital services tax (DST) affects mega companies that offer digital services — like online advertising or shopping — and earn more than $20 million in revenue from Canadian sources. Giant companies like Amazon, Apple, Airbnb, Google, Meta and Uber will be taxed three per cent on the money they make from Canadian users and customers. The levy has been in place since last year, but the first payments are due starting Monday. It's retroactive to 2022, so companies will end up with a $2-billion US bill due by the end of July. Revenue is one big benefit. The Parliamentary Budget Office estimated last year that the tax would bring in more than $7 billion over five years. The Liberals first promised the tax during the federal election in 2019 under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, but it was delayed for years because a number of other nations wanted to work together on one, overarching digital taxation plan that could be applied in multiple countries. As the delays dragged on, Canada went ahead with its own tax plan. Aside from revenue, Ottawa has pitched the DST as a way to bring the tax code up to date and capture revenues earned in Canada by firms located abroad. The United States has been hostile to the tax from the beginning because it largely affects American tech giants. Officials have argued the tax discriminates against American companies and Congress, notoriously divided between Democrats and Republicans, found a moment of common ground in criticizing Canada's plan. The Computer & Communications Industry Association has estimated U.S. companies could pay as much as $1 billion a year in tax if the measure remains on the books. A number of industry experts — from lawyers to cross-border groups and commerce associations — have warned for years that the tax would strain the relationship between Canada and the U.S., with one going so far as to predict in 2023 that the tax alone would be to blame for a trade war. WATCH | Trump says he's ending talks with Canada over DST: Canadian and U.S. business groups, organizations representing U.S. tech giants and American lawmakers all signed letters in recent weeks calling for the tax to be eliminated or paused. But Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the legislation was passed by Parliament, and Canada would be "going ahead" with the tax. Pellerin, the international trade lawyer, said he suspects the federal government will avoid changing its plan because it's taken a strategy of avoiding knee-jerk reactions to Trump's negotiation tactics. "The Trump administration is not known for negotiating quietly in the back rooms or in the hallways of power … so I don't think this is unexpected," he said. Trump says he's pulling back from the bilateral trade discussions because Canada plans to move ahead with its DST on Monday, a move he described online as "a direct and blatant attack on our country." The move put the 30-day deadline to reach an agreement in the trade dispute into doubt. The Biden administration also opposed the tax, but tried to resolve the issue differently: It asked Canada for dispute settlement consultations under the Canada-United States-Mexico-Agreement (CUSMA) last August. That consultation period ended in November without the Biden administration taking the case to the next step, but there is no time limit on when the U.S. could pick that plan back up — so the CUSMA route is still available to the current administration if Trump wanted to move away from his current tactic. Yes. France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom all have tax regimes in place, to name a few.

Why The Washington Post Is Drowning In Bad Headlines
The Washington Post Building at One Franklin Square Building in Washington, DC. (Photo by Andrew ...) I didn't think I'd be back writing about the troubles at The Washington Post so soon, following my last piece from just a few days ago, but here we are. That earlier piece, which you can read here, focused on the Post having lost tens of thousands of subscribers over the last several years, with the paper's current average daily paid subscriptions now at a new low. Despite the financial backing of owner Jeff Bezos, the reality is that Post hasn't been able to convert fleeting interest from readers into long-term loyalty; worse still, internal dysfunction and shifting editorial strategies continue to cloud the Post's identity and future. And, unfortunately, two new developments suggest the challenges aren't letting up anytime soon. Another misstep at The Washington Post Let's start with a newsroom experiment that executive editor Matt Murray detailed in a company memo. It's a new initiative that will allow individuals mentioned in the Post's stories to annotate those articles directly on the site. The movie is being framed as a way to 'deepen the conversation' and keep reader engagement on the Post's platform, rather than that discussion migrating away to X, Reddit, or elsewhere. But, come on: It's an absolute certainty that this is going to end up backfiring in spectacular fashion. This initiative is the kind of idea that looks fantastic on a whiteboard: Start letting some of the sources who are quoted in articles add annotations to the articles they're mentioned in. More engagement = everybody wins. Or something like that. In reality, the idea of real-time rebuttals next to reported journalism opens up an unnecessary Pandora's box. What happens when a powerful figure – or anyone, really – uses the feature in bad faith to undermine verified facts? Or tries to insert spin into the conversation? Will readers trust the original reporting, or will the very presence of a sidebar reply create the illusion of 'two sides' to a matter of fact? Reporters will technically be able to respond, but as I see it this risks adding 'debate monitor' to their job description. That the paper's management decided to embark on such an initiative at all, meanwhile, should also put this next bit of negative news into context. A rebuke of The Washington Post's Bezos era Pamela Alma Weymouth, granddaughter of the late Post publisher Katharine Graham, has written a personal and extremely scathing commentary in The Nation about the situation at the Post — among other things, accusing Bezos of systematically dismantling the institution her grandmother once protected. She lays the blame for much of the Post's woes at the feet of the Amazon founder. 'In the face of a more tyrannical Trump,' she writes, 'Bezos has retreated. He's muzzled his editorial page. Exceptional writers, editors, cartoonists have fled. Eight days before the election, the Post canceled a scheduled endorsement of Kamala Harris — breaking with decades of precedent. Four hundred Post journalists signed a protest letter. Two hundred and fifty thousand readers canceled their subscriptions.' Things got worse earlier this year, she continued, when Bezos dictated that Opinion writers would be expected to align with 'personal liberties and free markets,' leaving little or even no room for dissenting views. Editor David Shipley and others resigned, and another wave of subscription cancellations followed. Weymouth continues: 'If the free press can be manipulated by politicians, if truth is viewed as optional, if The Washington Post goes dark under Bezos, then we lose more than a legend. We lose the very thing that makes America a democracy.' Weymouth's commentary is particularly damning in light of recent revelations about Bezos' companies engaging with Trumpworld while the Post, at the same time, shifted its own editorial voice. It's the kind of rebuke that ought to cut deep, given that it's rooted in the legacy of the family that once owned The Washington Post — their ownership now relegated to a bygone era of journalism. To be sure, none of this means the Post is finished. There are still plenty of talented reporters who fill its newsroom, but decisions from the leadership have nonetheless put the paper in a precarious spot. Legacy isn't a business model. Without a clear editorial mission and a bold plan to rebuild reader loyalty, the fact of the matter is that even a paper as storied as The Washington Post won't be able to successfully right the ship — and avoid the inevitable.
