Taxes, negotiations and dealing with a bully
Opinion In the current perilous and mercurial moment, it was undoubtedly the right thing to do. But the practical reality of the matter doesn't make it any less viscerally unpleasant. The decision last Sunday by Prime Minister Mark Carney to rescind the digital services tax might be, as he attempted to ensure Canadians, a small element of a larger negotiating strategy, but for those who have grown sick and tired of the petulant tirades and deplorable tactics of U.S. President Donald Trump, it felt more like backing down in the face of a bully's threats. The DST, which was introduced by the then-Trudeau-led Liberals in 2020 and was set to take effect June 30, would have imposed a three per cent tax on tech giants with Canadian revenues in excess of $20 million per year. Adrian Wyld / The Canadian Press Prime Minister Mark Carney The primary targets, of course, were U.S.-based firms such as Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Amazon, Google, X Corp. (formerly Twitter) and others, which have siphoned off billions in revenue from this country's retail, commercial and media sectors without contributing anything to the Canadian economy. Other nations, including France, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy, have imposed their own versions of a DST, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) continues its long and often-stalled effort to create an international framework for regulating and taxing global tech companies. But Trump, who since being re-elected has fabricated numerous rationales for imposing tariffs and other penalties on Canada, last week described the DST as 'a direct and blatant attack' on the U.S. and declared he would cease all trade negotiations until Canada 'straighten(s) out their act.' Given that Carney has invested considerable time and political capital into repairing Canada-U.S. relations that had turned toxic largely because of the U.S. president's deep dislike for former prime minister Justin Trudeau, it isn't surprising that the decision was made to shelve the DST, at least temporarily. Carney's priority is to restart talks aimed at reaching a trade deal that addresses the punitive tariffs that have been capriciously applied since Trump's return to the White House. Weekday Mornings A quick glance at the news for the upcoming day. 'It's part of a bigger negotiation,' Carney said of the DST withdrawal. 'It's something that we expected in the broader sense that would be part of a final deal.' Trade talks between Canada and the U.S. resumed Monday, with the previously agreed-upon deadline of July 21 still being the target for reaching an agreement. Whether the last-minute cancellation of the digital tax truly was a tactical move or simply amounts to an act of sheepish acquiescence, it's difficult for Canadians to view it as anything but loathsome. We're all taught, from childhood, that we should never give in to a bully, because doing so will only embolden the tormentor to attack again, demand more and extract as much as can be gained for as long as the bullying tactics continue to work. In addition to the direct costs of seeking to appease, there's also an emotional toll that comes with letting a bully get away with it, a sickening feeling deep in the pit of one's stomach at the idea the bad guys are winning, yet again, and that maybe the arc of history does not — as former president Barack Obama and others have professed — bend toward justice. For now, all we have is our trust that Carney really is playing a long game, and that Canadians will be rewarded for their patience in this moment of profound frustration. Giving in to a bully is deeply unpleasant; now, it's up to the PM to prove to us all it was worth it.

Judge bans offshore gambling site Bodog from operating in Manitoba
The Manitoba Law Courts building in Winnipeg on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/John Woods) A Manitoba judge has banned an offshore gambling site from operating in the province. In a court order from May 26, Court of King's Bench Judge Jeffrey Harris ruled that the companies running and any other related successor or replacement websites—must stop operating gambling products and services that are accessible to people in Manitoba. The Antigua and Barbuda-based company Il Nido Ltd. and Sanctum IP Holdings Ltd. must implement geo-blocking technology to prevent Manitobans from engaging with the gambling products as part of a permanent injunction. The companies are also ordered to stop all advertising that is targeting or accessible to people in the province. Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries (MBLL) previously sought an injunction earlier this year on behalf of the Canadian Lottery Coalition to stop the companies from operating or advertising Bodog within the province. According to the order, Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation (MBLL) is 'vested with the exclusive authority to conduct, manage and offer lotteries in Manitoba, including online gambling products.' Bodog has no statutory exception, per the court filing. The Criminal Code of Canada prohibits all betting, gaming and lottery activities in the country, with an exception for provinces conducting gaming operations or licenced organizations. The court filing also said Bodog is not regulated by any Canadian authority or subject to scrutiny. As a result, it has no requirement to implement responsible gambling features, pay taxes or comply with anti-money laundering requirements in the country. The gambling site, which allows players to bet on sporting events and casino games, advertises itself as a 'legal online casino in Canada' and as 'one of the safest places to gamble online within the realms of the country,' per the ruling. The order adds that 'Bodog's false representations regarding its legality, legitimacy, trustworthiness and safety are violations of the Competition Act and the Trademarks Act.' Incalculable harm to Manitobans: MBLL CEO 'We could not be more pleased with this ruling,' said MBLL CEO Gerry Sul in a Canadian Lottery Coalition news release. 'Bodog's conduct has not only been unlawful, the harm their illegal operations have caused to MBLL—and Manitobans—is incalculable," he said. According to MBLL's website, every dollar earned in profit is reinvested into the province to fund government programs, such as health care, education, social services and housing. For the fiscal year ending in 2024, MBLL returned nearly $380 million from its casino, lottery, online gambling and video lottery offerings, according to the ruling. The previous year's return is reported at over $390 million. The ruling said because Bodog's operations are located offshore and outside the reach of Canadian authorities, it is 'highly unlikely that MBLL would be successful in any effort to enforce the significant monetary judgment against them.'
