Good call. The odds of Bezos of being part of Vichy America’s cabal is high. A man who prefers their deliveryfolk to piss in bottles and break their bodies in warehouses, is pretty likely to support a war machine that assaults Canada.
It will be important for Canada to divorce itself from as many Vichy services and goods as possible.
I was about to cave use Amazon because how much cheaper things were compared to eBay.
That story about pissing in bottles came out right when I made my account and I’ve never once used it. Don’t even remember the password.
Amazon l’ont bien mérité après ils ont fermé les entrepôts syndiqués.
Amazon deserves it after they closed unionized warehouses.
Legends. Please more of exactly this. Fuck Amazon so hard.
Hard caveat: As long as the local provider is not just drop shipping Amazon.
Yes! Every Canadian municipality and provincial department should do this.
IMO all government at every level should be mandated to support local and/or Canadian first when possible. I don’t why an entity that serves the people can’t also be directly supporting those they serve instead of putting that money into other countries - just seems backasswards to me.
I agree completely.
Man I miss the days when my neighbors owned the local businesses. These soulless corporations have totally destroyed the small town “American dream”.
I miss walking into our old hardware store and picking a Super Nintendo game every now and then because my mom talked the owner into stocking them. He had them hanging overhead behind the counter.
He only got the big titles, stuff he knew the kids would want. He’d ask me and my brother when we came in, “What game are they talking about on the playground now, big guy?”
That world is gone. Going to town is pointless unless you have to go to court for something.
That feels like such a cool and special relationship to have. Tangentially when I worked at a mall I got to know the owner of a local store not far from where I worked that sold all kinds of novelties (pop culture, games, TCGs, etc). I bought a few things to support him and we built a rapport to the point he offered me the employee discount. Felt like being welcomed to the family.
Not just municipalities, not just Amazon and not just Canada:
Every person must stop giving their money to businesses owned by fascists.
Hell yeah. I would also hope as many engineers as possible resign from SpaceX, Tesla and the Boring Company, but sadly too many of them probably a) have no problem with their boss’s ethics or b) are financially stressed and are afraid to do so, or c) are addicted to the lifestyle enabled by their pay grade.
The biggest trick capitalism pulled on all of us is keeping wages ‘not too low, not too high’ so we are all not starving, yet afraid to walk away from our jobs.
H1-B visas. They keep working there because they don’t want to leave the US. Often they have entire lives and family in the US and have not simply been there for a few short years.
Ah, yes I forgot that angle – that period of indentured servitude (slavery) for the hope of being allowed to participate in the illusion of “The American Dream” …
I believe I read that Amazon recently closed its warehouses in Quebec because one unionized.
Correct, 7 warehouses got closed
Unfathomably based. Good work Canada, I look forward to being annexed soon
Canada wide. Let’s go!
I’m doing my part!
Thats how you do it !
French vibes… No ice
