Dropping the digital service tax is a smart move as it's a massive irritant of the US dating back to the Biden admin. That being said, the need for some level of deterrent and assistance with Canadian media and Canadian companies that the tax was suppose to assist with still stands.
Canada really needs to wake up and making sure it's industries are being protected, supported, pushed to thrive domestically and given the tools to go on the offensive in other markets outside of Canada. That currently isn't the case and companies globally generally eat our lunch.
We need a really solid, wholesale rethink about how we can really push through as a country and light a competitive spirit in all businesses in Canada and dropping regulations and stupid taxes, fee's and barriers to business. Move forward and try and bypass the US as much as logically and economically possible.
