Stop the Internet Tax!

VICTORY UPDATE: Digital Services Tax rescinded after Trump halts trade negotiations

Canada’s Department of Finance announced on June 29 that the controversial Digital Services Tax (DST) would be rescinded immediately, following a collapse in trade negotiations and pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Initially proposed in 2020 under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, the DST was marketed as a means to ensure tech giants like Netflix and YouTube paid their “fair share.” In reality, it was a thinly veiled cash grab, compelling U.S. and Canadian companies to register and remit funds to Ottawa.

The policy would burden Canadians already grappling with soaring taxes and a sluggish economy, especially as many, including Carney’s own Brookfield Asset Management, have increasingly fled Canada to escape stifling regulations. President Trump’s response was swift and uncompromising. Threatening tariffs and halting trade talks, he publicly criticized Carney, dismantling the Prime Minister’s “elbows up” boasting.

Within days, Carney capitulated, scrapping the DST. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne framed the retreat as a move to “protect jobs,” but the reality is clear: this was a surrender to U.S. pressure, exposing the Liberals’ willingness to trade their supposed principles for political expediency, and how easily they crumble under pressure.

Critics suspect the DST was a trojan horse for broader internet regulation, potentially paving the way for the revival of the contentious Online Harms Act (Bill C-63).

For now, Canadians can breathe a sigh of relief as this ill-conceived tax is scrapped.

Stop Carney’s Internet tax and to shut down his censorship agenda!

The Liberals have never met a product or service they don’t want to tax — which is why they support an Internet tax. Thing is, Mark Carney is targeting that tax on U.S. companies like Netflix, YouTube and Instagram — and today Trump announced it’s a deal-breaker for him, literally.

Trump put Carney on blast, and published a social media post calling off all trade talks with Canada and threatening us with another tariff trade war.

This isn’t just another quarrel between two world leaders and it’s not just another trade issue. It’s step one in Carney’s plan to regulate the Internet.

We’ve got to show Parliament that Carney’s Internet tax won’t be accepted by Canadians.

  1. Carney’s Internet tax is risking another trade war with the U.S.
  2. Canadians are already taxed too much — this is an attack on us, not just on social media companies.
  3. If Carney can regulate the Internet this way, it will set the stage for him to reintroduce Trudeau’s Internet censorship bill, C-63.

Those are three good reasons to sign our petition now!

Some people actually thought Carney would be good at dealing with the U.S. Some people even thought he was more “conservative” than Justin Trudeau. This Internet tax proves them wrong. Carney is picking a fight with Trump that we’re going to lose. And, typical Liberals, he just can’t stop taxing and regulating us.

Sign our petition here, and Ezra Levant will personally deliver it to Parliament!

Mark Carney just lit the match on a trade war with the U.S. by pushing an Internet tax that targets American companies like Netflix, YouTube, and Instagram. Trump hit back hard — blasting Carney on social media and cancelling all trade talks with Canada. But this isn’t just about tax — it’s step one in Carney’s real plan: regulating the Internet and reviving Trudeau’s censorship bill.
