    Are the drugs being sold to Americans traveling to Canada? If so, it's not illegal.

    How do these Americans know where to buy these drugs?

    Friends, family, traveled to Canada and discovered drugs are cheaper.
    Were you thinking Canadian drug stores were advertising on US TV to tell US-Americans to travel to Canada to buy cheaper drugs?
    And even if it was the case, the advertising might not be illegal under US law, so there wouldn't even be a problem.

  2. I mean, putting aside the fact that Canada does not have any constitutionally protected rights to freedom of speech like the USA does,

    Freedom of speech in Canada is protected as a "fundamental freedom" by Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is part of the constitution.

    So Canada agrees with the U.S. that Canadian pharmacies illegally selling prescription drugs to Americans should be de-indexed from Google worldwide.

    Are the drugs being sold to Americans traveling to Canada? If so, it's not illegal.

    The key issue is whether another country can apply their laws in your country

    No, the key issue is whether Google can obey the judgment by another mean than de-indexing world wide.
    Only de-indexing from google.ca is not enough if google.com is still accessible from Canada and Google continues to do business in Canada.

    I bet they want to continue sell ads in Canada.

  5. Is Google even capable to make sure nobody in Canada, including those using VPN, will have access to the illegal search results?

  6. Google is also free to stop doing business in Canada.

    you have a very biased view of history. Read that wikipedia link I posted earlier. You will learn a lot.

    maybe they already have that information? What more could they learn by leaving the account active for longer?

    The average price paid of a laptop must be around $700, and this is in rich countries.
    $1500 is the high end niche, power users.

    It's much more complex than that.
    They didn't leave in the 60s. They left in the 1948 war. Often because they were expelled.

    Exactly, but the surface is a great ultra portable laptop (as long as you get the keyboard), unlike this iPad which performs nothing more than a tablet.

    Their employees pay income tax, their customers pay sales tax, how many taxes can they stand?

    How about as much as democratically decided by the people?

    You forget the even bigger subsidy. By not taxing oil/gas/coal enough to cover pollution costs, they in fact receive a subsidy from the whole world.

    It depends. Corn ethanol is dumb. Sugar cane ethanol make sense, but that wouldn't help US farmers.

  16. Even if it is the case, can Google really beat Qualcom and what makes you think Qualcom couldn't make faster chips if manufacturers were willing to pay for it?

    Google doesn't have the numbers to justify custom chips. Samsung does. Apple does. Huawei seem to have it. But Google I highly doubt it.

    But is it negative price for the end user, or some negative prices among the grid that only big power companies can use when exchanging electricity between themselves?

  24. So you are saying there is absolutely no way to reduce one tax and raise another? Mankind is not physically able to do it?

    You are stuck on calling it a treaty. It doesn't have to be a treaty under US law to be a treaty in the sense most people use the word. Call it an agreement instead if you prefer. So you are (were) part of the agreement, like it or not.
