You're welcome!! I am hopeful too.

 

Just came across this while scrolling pixelfed!

A Canadian hosted search engine.

I have been using Ecosia, but will have to try this out.

It looks very similar to the Google system. Did you find it easy and intuitive to switch over?

Oh, Good to know! I thought they were headquartered in London England.

I've never been a fan of Ford, but I do appreciate this new side of him.

The photo is hilarious and iconic, and the CBC article is worth the read.

PP is sounding very bitter over Carney's success.

Some Canadian independent media to look at instead of the postmedia shills:

  • CBC
  • The Globe and Mail
  • The Winnipeg Free Press
  • The Narwhal
  • The Tyee
  • SRC/Radio Canada (Français)
  • Ground News
  • Le Devoir(Français)
  • La Presse(Français)

Other non US news:

  • Reuters (UK)
  • Al Jazeera (Middle East)
  • The Guardian (UK)
 

At present 50% of the company's chocolates in Canada came from the U.S., and the rest from Europe.

"We are able to source 100% from Europe," Lechner told Reuters.

Lindt, whose products include Lindor chocolate balls, has already built up inventories in Canada from the U.S. to give it time to change its supply chain, which it expects to complete by the middle of the year.

Chief Financial Officer Martin Hug said it would be slightly more expensive to transport chocolate to Canada from Europe but it would cost less than if tariffs were imposed.

I would love to see more companies move in this direction. It's not perfect, but at least they are trying, and I think that's great.

Right? "Oh if you're boycotting visiting the US than why did so many of you visit last year before the boycott started, huh?"

On the plus side you have White Spot, which we don't have anywhere else(afaik)!

Fantastic, thanks again! Looks like I've got some reading to do.

[–] KanadrAllegria@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Oh that does look very useful, thank you!

Thanks for your reply! That makes a lot of sense to me.

Astounding that Ontario buys that much US liquor, and reducing that market will certainly have an impact on the US economy!

As an aside, other than oranges I won't miss any of those items, and I know there are alternative options for oranges!

Thank you for the response! I haven't seen a lot of specifics about the Canadian tariffs, but maybe I just haven't been looking in the right places. It makes a lot of sense to target particular items which have Canadian alternatives, and to put pressure on Red states as u/IslandLife mentioned below.

Edit: I was wondering why the word "Teriff" didn't look right. Apparently my phone decided that was the proper way to spell Tariff.
