Nah. We just need to work around the risk we didn't know they represented.

Who didn't know that the US was the Mecca of bigotry, racism, homophobia, and corporate greed? Seriously, I can't be the only person who saw this coming as soon as Trump's name went on the ballot in 2016.

I knew this in the 80s when I met one of their racist children while camping. That country was forged on exploitative practices and it's never recanted or changed, just wallpapered over its flaws and failures with increasingly intricate excuses.

We are finally seeing the effects of the rot below the veneer.

I just realized that McCain is a Canadian company. Sorry, I've been boycotting their fries and stuff for the past few months, but it was a mistake - damn you, John McCain!

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

The McCains still have their list of problems, much like other large Corporations and billionaires, but they are Canadian.

Now reinstate that fucking Digital Services Tax !

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or, as was originally planned, Negotiate a global minimum tax with the EU and other major markets. Then better yet, remove DRM anti-circumvention legislation. That way Canadian companies can openly jailbreak our phones and offer alternative app stores on the devices we own -with no American middleman taking a third of the money we spend.

anyone can install f-droid. also jailbreaking isn't up to Canadian companies, its up to the device manufacture allowing it and providing warranty for it (which they wont). If you want a phone like that, your best bet is buying a linux phone that is open out of the box, but no companies are canadian that produce it.

For now. Google is making sure this not an option in the near future

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

thank god my next phone is a linux phone.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

that's my hope as well

This is the only way to hurt Trump. Financially. It’s all a grifter knows. I wish ALL countries would blacklist America.

His reign won’t be stopped with arms and violence. It’ll be stopped by boycotts. And we’re now barreling towards a national labor strike. All we need is just to be pushed into the “nothing left to lose” category…

Trump's so fragile, there are so many other ways to hurt him 😂

That’s great but can you reduce our US exports?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Trump is handling that part, it's the reason we need to increase our non-US exports
