I don't understand why we don't cheat those scumbags. Once we have a deal make those companies pay a digital broadcast fee vs the DST. I will reserve judgement on what Carney did as we have no idea what was received in return for canceling the DST. We won't know until we see what comes of the negotiations.
How does the DST relate to auto sales in Canada?
Try and stay on the subject.
Trump is deliberately causing the dismantling of the Canadian auto manufacturing sector, steel, aluminum and next supply chain management all towards his mandate to annex Canada. He is trying to grab Alberta and Saskatchewan first with the help of their
respective premiers.
Oshawa and Windsor are getting hit very hard.

You don't know how the DST relates to future auto exports? Really? Have you been living under a rock?
On the other hand, Tesla's sales are wayyyyy down in Canada.
Exports not just sales. If the DST was not cancelled, then tariffs on auto sales were pending. April auto sales were affected by tariffs, May the orange clown suspended them, so we will see of there was a surge of exports,
