Interim NDP Leader Don Davies said the decision to end the digital services tax amounts to “pure caving in to Trump and his billionaire friends.”
“Canada is a sovereign country with the right to make our own tax laws. Abandoning fair taxation of tech giants is unacceptable appeasement,” Davies said in a social media post.
"I think Canadians would be surprised to learn that their own pension monies are being used to invest in other countries in such a vastly disproportionate way than in their own country," said Don Davies, Interim Leader of the NDP and Finance Critic.
New Democrat leader Don Davies warns the bill may disproportionately benefit wealthier Canadians and reduce the value of key tax credits relied on by vulnerable groups.
"It's time that Carney government became more transparent with Canadians, let us know who's negotiating, and definitely explain to Canadians why he's pursuing deeper military and economic integration with the United States when he promised Canadians that he would do exactly the opposite."
Interim NDP Leader Don Davies said Carney should act soon because “industry and jobs are at stake.”
“I’m a little bit surprised that Prime Minister Carney needs time. These tariffs have been foreshadowed for some time,” he said. “We need action.”
"The message is that if the government wants New Democrat support, they are going to have to bring in policies that help working families across this country."
NDP Interim Leader Don Davies says the federal government has put forth a 'cut spending, cut taxes throne speech,' that his party can't support.
"The NDP is the only party in the House of Commons that I think truly represents working people in this country. We were a party that was formed by working people, for working people. And the policies that we put forth are policies that nobody else does. For instance, improving our healthcare system, having universal dental care, having universal pharmacare."
Out on the campaign trail on an evening in early April, Adrian Dix put it best.
“It’s going to be an interesting case of how much an individual MP matters in an election,” the provincial Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions told the Straight. “They’ve got the best one in Canada right here.”
Speaking with reporters on Parliament Hill, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh calls on the Liberal government to pass its two-month GST pause on some goods and services immediately, then extend its proposed $250 rebate cheques for workers to cover students, retirees, and people living with disabilities.
Singh is joined by NDP MPs Peter Julian and Don Davies.
