We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter! https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1939522597550518357 If Canada had kept the Digital Services Tax (DST) in place, the financial and economic consequences would have been significant, primarily due to potential U.S. retaliation and disruptions to the Canada-U.S. trade relationship.   Lost Tax Revenue vs. Retaliatory Tariffs: The DST was projected to generate approximately C$5.9 billion (about US$4.3 billion) over five years, or roughly C$1.2 billion (US$870 million) annually, according to Canada's 2024 federal budget However, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods in response to the DST, which could have far exceeded the tax revenue. For context, Canada exports over US$400 billion in goods annually to the U.S., representing 75% of its total goods exports. If the U.S. imposed tariffs (e.g., 10-50% as suggested by Trump's April 2025 tariff levels), the cost to Canadian exporters could have ranged from US$40 billion to US$200 billion annually, depending on the tariff rate and scope. Specific sectors like automobiles, energy, steel, and aluminum (already facing 50% U.S. tariffs) would have been hit hardest, with ripple effects across supply chains. Increased Costs for Canadian Consumers and Businesses: The DST would have imposed a 3% tax on digital services revenue from Canadian users, affecting U.S. tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple. Some companies, like Google, had already introduced surcharges (e.g., a 2.5% “Canada DST Fee” on ads starting October 2024) to offset compliance costs, which would have raised prices for Canadian consumers and businesses reliant on digital services. Canadian business groups warned that these costs would be passed on, increasing the price of digital subscriptions, online marketing, and e-commerce. Economic Impact of Retaliation: The U.S. could have targeted Canadian pension funds and investments through retaliatory measures, as warned by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. A trade war could have exacerbated Canada's economic slowdown, with unemployment already at 7% in 2025, potentially leading to job losses in export-dependent industries like manufacturing and energy.   Sector-Specific Impacts: Automotive and Manufacturing: Tariffs on automobiles and parts would have disrupted integrated North American supply chains, increasing costs for Canadian manufacturers and potentially le...

In this segment, Leighton Sheldon of Just Collect joins Jeremy, Joe, and Mr. Minty to dig deeper into PSA's recent survey, exploring how its upcharges, proposed services, and data strategies could be paving the way toward an IPO. The conversation covers potential implications of Collectors going public, the psychology of new offerings like high-res imaging and PSA-branded sleeves, and PSA's expanding retail footprint—highlighted by its first in-store presence at the new Burbank Sports Cards megastore. Leighton shares his thoughts on how PSA's access to submission data could create powerful tools for collectors and dealers alike, while Steve and Joe weigh in on the growing shift toward vaulting cards and trading entirely within PSA's ecosystem. The conversation closes with a lively discussion on vintage card collecting and the rise of eye appeal grading, including the upcoming launch of Eye Appeal Inc. They debate whether eye appeal is becoming too expensive for the average collector, and what happens when aesthetics start to outweigh technical grade.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Kodiak starting the process to become a publicly traded company, the anxiety leading up to Aurora's driver-out commercial launch and Lyft's expansion into Europe through the acquisition of FREENOW.Kodiak has officially filed to go public in a $2.5 billion SPAC deal, backed by a $100 million PIPE and a 100-truck order from Atlas Energy that signals strong market confidence. Aurora's long-anticipated driver-out commercial launch is drawing closer, with industry watchers counting the days and parsing every signal for an indication of launch. On the platform side of autonomy, Lyft is expanding to the UK and Europe through a $197 million acquisition of FREENOW. Now that Lyft has European operations, there is a path for the company to scale robotaxis on two continents.It appears that Lyft is gearing up to compete with Uber more aggressively, while in the U.S., Waymo continues to grow their Waymo One service which overtime will capture marketshare from both Uber and Lyft. Meanwhile, Walt headed out to LA to get an on the ground understanding of how Waymo is scaling in the City of Angles and how Angelenos are currently thinking about autonomous vehicles.

In this episode, Scott sits down with Darren Marble — the creator of Going Public and founder of Issuance — for a wide-ranging conversation on the rise of retail investors, the evolution of equity crowdfunding, and why he believes the best days of this industry are still ahead. Darren shares the inside story of launching Going Public, a groundbreaking series now partnered with X (formerly Twitter), where everyday people can invest in startups while watching. He opens up about the challenges of getting mainstream media to understand the vision, the value of showmanship in a complex industry, and how they're landing major talent like Baron Davis, Floyd Mayweather, and Steve Aoki to bring visibility to private investing. Scott and Darren go deep into the early days of crowdfunding, the Elio Motors deal that kicked it all off, the philosophy behind Issuance's white-label platform, and why building a frictionless checkout for investing (complete with Apple Pay and USDC) was always the obvious play. This episode is full of gems on what it really takes to build trust, media attention, and infrastructure in a space often ignored by institutions — until now.

Are you hiding your faith or boldly going public for Jesus? In a world where we proudly wear our favorite team's jersey, why do so many hesitate to declare their allegiance to Christ? Jesus calls us to stand unashamed, and baptism is the first step of obedience—a powerful declaration that we belong to Him. If you've been waiting to take that step, or if your faith has been tucked away like an old jersey in the back of your closet, it's time to go all in for Jesus!

On this Company episode of The Synopsis we draw on our 75-page research report on Axon Enterprises, a leading law enforcement technology provider, for a very in-depth break down of the company. Founder Rick Smith took a failed concept—the TASER—and not only created a succesful business around it, but made it become a mainstay of policing. Not content to just reinvent how policing worked in the field, Axon pushed into other critical areas of law enforcement like officer video, cloud-based data management, and vertical software. A 1,000x return since going public in 2001, Axon is one of the highest returning stocks of all time. But more interesting than the investment returns, is all of the lessons we can learn from Billionaire Founder Rick Smith.  Learn more about our 75-page research report here.  For full access to all of our in-depth research reports, become a Speedwell Member here.  If you need help getting Speedwell Research to become an approved research vendor, so you can expense your subscription, please email info@speedwellresearch.com  *~*~*~* Mentioned Speedwell Memos:  Minimum Viable Products versus Maximum Possible Products How Axon's Founder Built a $35bn Business: 10 Lessons from Rick Smith -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Show Notes Part 1: Founding History and Background (0:00) Axon Overview (3:34) — Background of the Advent of the TASER (12:08)— Rick Smith Reinvents the TASER and the Founding of AirTaser (15:39) — AirTaser Early Struggles (23:20) — Taser International rename, Going Public (34:36) — Broadening their Mission and Product Lines, Introducing Axon (43:47) — R&D Fumbles, Importance of Knowing when to Iterate vs Innovate (51:11) — Axon Camera Business Frictions,  Gaining Adoption and Building a Competitive Moat (1:17:57) — Concluding History *~* Part 2: Financials, Industry, Competition, and Valuation (1:26:22) — Revenue Segments, Business Model (1:43:39) — Profitability and Mature Margins (1:47:45) — Industry and TAM, Pricing Power (1:57:59) — Competition (2:29:38) — Why Axon Wins (One Breath Take) (2:33:36) — ROIC, Mature Profitability, Free Cash Flow (2:40:51) — Valuation (2:44:07) — Risks (2:49:01) — Free Axon Resources from Speedwell -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Become a Speedwell Member here to gain access to *all* of our in-depth research reports and more!   Sign up for Speedwell's free newsletter and weekly memos here *-*-*- Follow Us: Twitter: @Speedwell_LLC Threads: @speedwell_research Email us at info@speedwellresearch.com for any questions, comments, or feedback. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Disclaimer Nothing in this podcast is investment advice nor should be construed as such.
