Yes, EVERYTHING is Canada’s fault. How dare they have a fiscal policy that is advantageous for Canadian companies in Canada? I usually believe in peaceful negotiations but in this case I think Trump should nuke them, that will send the right message to the world. You simply do not interfere with with American animation interests.

Make Animation Great Again!

These subsidies will not last forever, just move around, sometimes one province will offer enough that companies will shutdown in one province or country and move wherever their profits will be larger.

BTW, regular canadians are not happy sponsoring these tax breaks either, its their money that fills that void.

Of course, it’s perfectly OK for the US to subsidize their own economy, but how dare other countries do the same…
