Canadian composer Matthew Good says that he is canceling his US tour dates due to President Donald Trump’s government.
“Load Me Up” is pointing to the cancellation of digital service tax as a main factor in rocker decision.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced at the end of last month that Canada would cancel by employing the US as a condition to resume business talks with America
In a social media post, Good says that the Trump is supporting “tax” to the Trump administration to “appeal” from Canada.
Taxes applied to all major technical companies that operate online marketplace or advertising services and social media platforms, and which earn revenue from user data sales.
Good says he was worried that if he talks negatively about Trump, he could be stopped on the border or his visa has been rejected, so he wanted to speak his tongue a little, even if he wanted to speak.
He said, “I can’t stand and remain calm, while our amazing country is motivated to move away from billions in the necessary revenue, constantly wondering if we really have a companion or an enemy in the south,” he wrote in the post.
Good was determined to perform in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo in the coming days. He is encouraging fans to show his support for the band Texas King, who must have joined him on the show.
