Canada has introduced a digital tax that will burden American tech giants with billions in costs, prompting President Trump to break off talks with Ottawa and announce new tariffs. The tax, set to take effect on July 1, will squeeze foreign tech firms with over 20 million Canadian dollars in revenue at a rate of three percent. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, a committed globalist and climate crusader, is seen as playing a weak hand in negotiations with Trump. Carney's actions are reminiscent of Brussels' negotiating style, making maximal demands and refusing compromise. Trump's response to the digital tax has been swift and blunt, warning that new US tariffs will soon follow. The US president has accused Canada of being a "copy of the EU" and has exposed Ottawa's protectionism. Trump's hard line on Brussels and Canada has made him an enlightener of geopolitical reality, revealing the EU's protectionist agenda. The trade dispute has exposed a geopolitical fault line between the US and its partners, committed to values of freedom, and a globalist cartel led by EU Brussels and its satellites like Ottawa. Trump's message to the Western world is clear: whoever tries to siphon off America's innovative strength or block it through regulation will be declared a pariah without hesitation. The US is emerging as a new global power, reordering the Middle East and defending its values of free-market economy, minimal state, and personal responsibility.
