Trump Lowkey Rage Quits Trade Talks with Canada Over Shady Tax, But Canada Said "Bet, My Bad" 😬

The Deets

Alright fam, buckle up, 'cause this is a rollercoaster. So, Trump was allegedly fuming about Canada trying to tax big US tech companies for their digital services, right? Like, a 3% tax on revenue from Canadian users – sus, I know.

So, what does Trump do? He straight-up rage quits the trade talks, no cap. Said he was "terminating all discussions" and was gonna slap a tariff on Canadian companies shipping stuff to the US within a week. Big yikes.

But here's the plot twist. Canada, in a move that can only be described as a pro gamer move, was like, "Nah, we good. We'll just ditch the tax." Apparently, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump had a whole phone call about it, and Canada backed down right before the tax was supposed to kick in. Savage.

Now, both countries are saying they're gonna try to get back to the negotiating table and seal a trade deal by July 21, 2025. So, maybe this whole thing was just a major overreaction? 🤷

But wait, there's more! On a totally different note, Alberta's changing the rules to make it easier for citizens to call for a referendum, including one on, like, leaving Canada. So, Alberta might be tryna pull a Brexit? 👀

And finally, some REALLY messed up news out of Idaho. Some dude allegedly started a wildfire and then ambushed and shot two firefighters. They didn't make it, RIP. Cops found the suspect dead later with a gun. Like, what is wrong with people??
