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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

thank god my next phone is a linux phone.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

that's my hope as well

Good luck with your bank's app and google pay.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Fuck google. That's the point. And my bank has this cool machine by the door that does everything the app does and an actual human who I can speak to in person who can also do all the things.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Not only that but last time I checked you can do banking on a WEB BROWSER.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 months ago

You still have physical banks ?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We need to increase our non-US exports because the US is our enemy. Not because they are limiting it.

[–] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Let’s just do business with non asshole countries only.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago

as long as its not relying on russia down the line, which is what they want to have the US weakened, by extension the rest of the western countries become disarrayed.
