Ottawa Backs Down on Digital Tax Dispute Amid Pressure from Trump White House

Canada has reportedly agreed to delay its planned digital services tax (DST) following pressure from former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a recent statement from the White House. The tax, which was originally slated to target tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, had been a major sticking point in U.S.-Canada trade discussions. The White House claimed Canada “caved” to U.S. demands after months of negotiations, with Trump’s team arguing the tax unfairly targeted American firms. The Canadian government, however, framed the delay as a strategic move to preserve economic stability and avoid retaliatory tariffs. Critics within Canada argue that the government’s decision reflects a growing trend of yielding to U.S. economic influence, while others say the delay is pragmatic given ongoing global talks about a coordinated approach to taxing digital revenues.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

If you can focus your mind in a particular direction, and back it up with total emotional commitment, you can expect a huge leap forward in both your personal affairs and your career. Don’t waste a single second on trivial people and trivial activities.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You will get the chance to make your mark over the next few days but you must be selective about the goals you are aiming to reach. Remember, just because an offer sounds good on the surface does not mean it is the right thing for you.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Everything in life moves and changes according to natural cycles and no matter how hard you try to change those cycles you will always be brought back to the course that was preordained for you personally. Work with your destiny today, don’t struggle against it.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The world seems a brighter and happier place than it has been of late and the reason for that is you no longer care what comes next. But giving up making long-term plans does not mean giving up on success – just live in and for the moment.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If you are looking to move up in the world then what occurs over the next few days will bring opportunities that can make it happen. But don’t jump at the first offer that comes along, because there will be even better offers arriving later on.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You need to broaden your horizons and you need to learn to look at the world through eyes that see the positive rather than the negative. There is a reason for every event under the Sun. Keep telling yourself that and you will come to believe it.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Your feelings could get a bit intense today, so watch what you say and who you say it to. Even if there is an opportunity to make someone who deserves it look silly you would be wise to let it pass. You don’t need to start another feud.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Opposites often attract but sometimes the attraction is short-lived and love can easily turn to hate when things go wrong. Bear that thought in mind today and don’t allow yourself to get too deeply attached to someone new in your social circle.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The sun is in the work area of your chart will make it easier for you to focus on details and sort out those practical things on which the bigger picture depends. Don’t waste your time and energy on other people’s extravagant dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

There is so much happening on the creative front at the moment that you may be finding it hard to focus on mundane things such as your friends and your family life. But you must give them the attention they need and deserve. It’s not all about you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

What can you do to bring harmony to your domestic affairs? For starters you can stop trying to get loved ones to act in ways that feel right for you but most likely feel wrong for them. A little understanding will go a long way today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The tempo of life is picking up dramatically and soon you will be speeding along and living the dream. But no matter how busy you may be on the work front you must make time for social activities. Friendships make good times even better.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

It would be smart to wait until the solar eclipse at the weekend has come and gone before making any long-term financial plans. Only then will you know for sure what activities are most likely to bring enjoyment and profit in equal measure.
