Well Carney caves at the first sign of pushback as expected.  
[Digital services tax scrapped](https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2025/06/canada-rescinds-digital-services-tax-to-advance-broader-trade-negotiations-with-the-united-states.html)  
So, while I thought ‘Con Carney’ was a fitting name given the nature of how he was elected, now I have to rethink that name for something else:

Cave-in Carney? Too obvious.  
Capitulation Carney? Not snappy enough.  
How about Flip Flop Carney, or Floppy Elbows Carney? Yeah, that seems about right.

But I’m sure others with better wit than I have can come up with better.
