At the end of June, Canada also scrapped the digital services tax, which would have imposed a three per cent levy on the Canadian revenues of digital giants such as Amazon, Apple and Meta. "The repeal of the digital services tax will significantly advance negotiations on a new economic and security partnership with the United States," Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said at the time. More than nine months later however, negotiations do not appear to have made any progress.

Also, we should bring back the digital services tax.

I think Sask was getting into it earlier on a smaller scale. Just enough to keep a few urban ridings from thinking they mattered.

This was lightly tongue-in-cheek but something that I do struggle with is that I am told over and over again to prioritize the white working class while that block has voted to make my life and the lives of the people I love worse. Why shouldn’t I advocate for me instead?

"We made a machine that can complete a marathon faster than a human." Congratulations, we've had those for over a century. They're called cars. Also trains. Also airplanes. Anyway fuck you and your robot, nerd.

It says an enormous amount about the Royal Navy in the late Victorian period that they could essentially build HMS "Fuck That One Ship In Particular" as and when required.

Tesla has only ever acknowledged $48 million in US tax obligations, for the calendar year 2023

What a remarkable investment this company has been for US taxpayers: billions in loans and subsidies, zero taxes, rampant lawbreaking, and not even trying to sell EVs anymore

Key evidence disappears from Tesla involved in bizarre crash The network card that stores and transmits crash data to Tesla's servers was physically removed from a Tesla Model Y involved in a violent 90 km/h crash in Bergen, Norway.

you might be surprised by how often Tesla's data recording systems randomly break, fail to function properly, go missing, or are otherwise mysteriously unable to perform their functions precisely when they are needed most

then again, you might not be surprised at all

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

Capitalism has brain rotted an entire populace into thinking you need to be able to get face cream, a lamp shade & dish soap delivered to your house within 24 hours or else a hate crime has been committed.

Your à la carte living has made you anti-social, isolated & an environmental menace.

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

I just realized I haven't seen 2. I did like Tacoma FD well enough though.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Casual FYI that the Tyson family's chromium processing plant in Baltimore gave a lot of people lung cancer, and Dr Anna Baetjer's discovery & proof of this causation basically established the field of environmental toxicology

The liberal position ought to be that we are all individuals, regardless of chromosomes or genitals, and it's up to you to figure out what your path through life ought to look like. That can be scary, but it's also freeing.
