Arghblarg ( @Arghblarg@lemmy.ca ) 49•1 month agoYes! Every Canadian municipality and provincial department should do this.
ProScience ( @proscience@toot.community ) 18•1 month agoNot just municipalities, not just Amazon and not just Canada:
Every person must stop giving their money to businesses owned by fascists.
Arghblarg ( @Arghblarg@lemmy.ca ) 10•1 month agoHell 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.
ThePrivacyPolicy ( @ThePrivacyPolicy@lemmy.ca ) 14•1 month agoIMO 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.
Rentlar ( @Rentlar@lemmy.ca ) 29•1 month agoAmazon l’ont bien mérité après ils ont fermé les entrepôts syndiqués.
Amazon deserves it after they closed unionized warehouses.
SorryQuick ( @SorryQuick@lemmy.ca ) 3•1 month agoSupposement que stait deja planifié avant les syndicats. Apparement que meme quand on avait des entrepots ici, tout se faisais livrer se l’ontario anyway.
Rentlar ( @Rentlar@lemmy.ca ) 2•1 month agoT’as raison, maintenant c’est plus justifié.
SabinStargem ( @SabinStargem@lemmings.world ) English23•1 month agoGood 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.
CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•1 month agoVichy America has a ring to it.
I mean, if we want to be really accurate, it’s more like Nationalist Spain or Mussolini’s Italy, but people don’t history enough for that to make sense rhetorically.
SabinStargem ( @SabinStargem@lemmings.world ) English1•1 month agoWe could use a better name, but for now it will have to do. I expect that we will have a civil war down the line, and a more suitable name will arise. Of course, Facist America would still call itself America. Hm. We could call it “Famica”?
Feel free to toss names into the hat.
Grant_M ( @Grant_M@lemmy.ca ) English12•1 month agoCanada wide. Let’s go!
I’m doing my part!
Grant_M ( @Grant_M@lemmy.ca ) English2•1 month agoSame :)
