Duh. No one elected them to go elbows down. Gonna be a short lived minority.

Y'all are remembering that it's us Canadians that will be paying this tax, right? It's not going to affect any company's bottom line in the slightest.

Then why would Trump object to it then?

Because it targets his buddies Zuck and Besos.

Does it target the billionaire tech bros or will Canadians pay it? Which one is it?? If Canadians are gonna pay it - why would Trump care? If it targets billionaire bros - big whoop! It’s so small it doesn’t even register.

Canadians pay it and are hopefully turned to other options, smaller companies, and hopefully Canadian ones. That would drive Amazon's business down, and that hurts the billionaires more than the tax.
