This isn't a cave. This is giving a narcissist a surface-level "win" that doesn't actually cost Canada anything. We'll all learn next month that it was never about the DST.

a surface-level “win” that doesn’t actually cost Canada anything.

Except for billions of dollars of tax revenue.

Which would be, in practice, very difficult to enforce. These companies excel in lowering overhead and avoiding taxes. The very fact that brands ike facebook and google are available in nearly every country should tell you the level of coercive power and wealth they actually have.

I'm not happy about it either, but it is entirely possible that this was a tactic or diversion.

oh yes, the bending over and take it power move... awesome for any time trump throws a tantrum

You seem to accuse a lot of people of bending over in your comment history and seem pretty keen on violence.

You’re not here for discussion. You’re here to bait. Get bent.

I keep calling for a general strike, how is that violence?

Also. no I'm not here for discussion because Amerigans let that stage lapse, the entire world is in terrible peril thanks to your collective selfishness and toxic individualism

if you think thoughts and prayers can get you out of this hole, keep at it and continue to deny your imminent fall into fascism

It was never enforced since 2022. It was a diversion tactic.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

no, a delay in implementation is absolutely not the same as a never enforced tax
