Canadian PM: Whoops, Sorry Eh! Trade Talks with US Back on after We Cancelled Tech Tax

In a surprising turn of events, Canadian Prime Minister Carney has announced that trade talks with the US have resumed after Canada rescinded its controversial tech tax. The tax, which was implemented just last week, was met with swift backlash from our neighbors to the south.

In a press conference held earlier today, Prime Minister Carney addressed the media, stating, “We have decided to rescind the tech tax in order to mend our relationship with the US and move forward with trade negotiations. We believe that this decision will pave the way for a more harmonious partnership between our two countries.”

When asked about the reasoning behind the sudden reversal, Prime Minister Carney responded, “Well, let’s just say that sometimes you have to take two steps back in order to take one step forward. Plus, I heard that President Johnson threatened to ban all maple syrup imports if we didn’t comply. And we can’t have that now, can we?”

In response to the news, President Johnson released a statement saying, “I am pleased that Canada has seen the error of their ways and rescinded the tech tax. Our countries have a long history of cooperation and friendship, and I look forward to continuing to work together for the betterment of both our nations.”

However, not everyone is thrilled about the sudden turn of events. Tech giant Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, voiced his displeasure with the decision, stating, “I was really looking forward to paying that tech tax. It would have been a great write-off for me. Now I’ll have to find some other way to avoid paying my fair share.”

Despite the mixed reactions, it seems that the trade talks between Canada and the US are back on track. Only time will tell what the future holds for these two nations, but one thing is for certain – there’s never a dull moment in the world of international politics.
