Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.

  • Do it! Many have already deleted their accounts, including me, and the only thing that has really changed is that delivery takes a bit longer.

  • I can't deny the convenience Amazon provide people in terms of their logistics and the range of products available in one place.

    In saying that, it's really not that difficult to forgo, and there are plenty of alternatives. Don't buy books: get a library card. Buy your electronics from Canada Computers or other similar stores. Healthy Planet and Well.ca are great for cosmetics and self care. Trade prime for a Plex server. There are plenty of options.

    I fully deleted my amazon account at the start of this Trump mess and asked them to delete all of my personal data. Life goes on.

  • What's the over/under on Canada developing a nuclear deterrent?

    It would be interesting to see how that would poll amongst Canadians.

    If the threat of annexation is as serious as we are being led to believe (and I think it is), what realistic options do we have in terms of defending our sovereignty? Actuellement, all that stands in the way of Canada's forced accension to statehood or, more likely; territorial vasalisation by an imperialist USA, is the short stroll to Ottawa.

    Obviously, developing nuclear weapons while signatory to non-proliferation treaties is a can of worms that I'd hate to see opened, and the mere acknowledgement and/or open development of such weapons could invite serious economic or even a military response.

    Is it even possible to develop a nuclear deterrent in secret? Does Canada have the savoir-faire? The technology, the materials, the delivery systems? Do we beg France and the UK to officially declare that they would respond to any armed aggression against Canada?

    Wtf do we do? What timeline is this?

    Sell our minerals to China in exchange for security guarantees? Fold and allow ourselves to be absorbed into the US?

    I can't believe this is where we are. What an anxious time to be a Canadian.

    • What a joke these folks are!
