This has become the hallmark of Canadian tech policy. Talk tough, practically dare companies and governments to respond, and then frantically seek an exit strategy when they do.
The ridiculous part is that they were repeatedly told this tax was problematic. Ever digital content creator, inside Canada, much less outside criticized this bill. It should never ever have got this far. The ONLY support this bill ever had was from inside the Liberal party.
This is Mike’s second tone-deaf post about the DST. He seems oblivious to the big picture. The foxes are threatening the henhouse, and he pipes up, “I told you that gate wasn’t strong enough.”

Very good information.
Thank you.
Summary: Canada's tech policy is CACO - "Canada Always Chickens Out".
