Every single social platform has tried to do this and failed. Once a platform reaches critical mass the bits, scammers, etc… move in and start exploiting any “honour” mechanism that might exist.

Probably the best I’ve come across is ycombinator news but that’s pretty niche.

We do but it’s all high end custom ordered stuff for military, space or auto applications. Consumer stuff disappeared around the sitcom boom when JDS, Norte, and others folded or were bought out. Only blackberry is left and it’s mostly from China?

Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?

Not sure why you keep trying to justify it. I said I get and to do what you must. And we will do the same. Just accept that we won’t particularly care what happens to you all the way over on the other side. The commonwealth is truly dead.

Your pathetic government wont do anything about pine gap. Keep thinking you have a spine. BTW, how are those US subs coming along.

For sure. Every country for itself. Just remember that in the near future when China is parked on your coastline and causing problems for all of you. I’ll be writing my MP urging them to stay out of it since we trade with China and generally get along. Cheers.

Clearly some countries didn’t get the memo. Guess it’s time to update the list of limp-wrist cunts for future reference. UK and Australia are really showing their true colours in all this.

I’m not big on more regulation and think we just need to change habits and let the market sort itself out.

A clear example of this is the Beer Stores in Ontario that are now closing up shop after their monopoly was ended. These guys had a monopoly and refused to let craft brewers into the store as it competed with their brands. The LCBO started carrying craft beers but you had to buy individuals which was great cause you get a mixer pack of stuff you like and maybe try one or two new beers. Fast forward many years and the business decision to exclude craft beers was their downfall.

Obviously Loblaws won’t go out of business but they need x$/square foot and don’t care how they get it. if US products are only delivering placement fees they will be dropped or moved to the bottom shelf. Things will work themselves out.

Frank is by far the most biased pollster around. He’s on record saying he would do anything to crush the CPC. But broken clock twice a day and all that.

Would love to see my local CPC MP will no doubt get re-elected then try that. Things would probable start with burning down his constituency office and escalate from there.

Camacho. lol.

Good luck getting the Weston’s to not be total dicks. Personally I’m lucky that we have an independent grocery store and they carry mostly local produce and meats, honey, and then lots of stuff comes from Europe which is great for cheeses, and such.

Retailers get paid a product placement fee for this. This is how the big players keep smaller brands out of stores.

No way they will turn down money. Just don’t purchase it and advocate for clearer labelling for food products.

Seems odd to push this while the government used spurious reasons to ban certain firearms through OICs and keeps adding more to the list while doing so little to control smuggled guns that Trump was able to use the border as false flag.

If your reply is about how dumb it is to think citizens can do anything against the US army I invite you to look up their last 3 wars.

Hey how, carhartt is a fashion brand.

Those dumb fucks couldn’t even hold arid lands populated by brown people who didn’t speak English and dressed different. Highly doubtful they could hold anything here without destroying everything and killing civilians indiscriminately.

You can feel any way you wish but frankly it will be political suicide for anyone who tries to walk back the current stance against the US. Sometimes you have to fire customers.

My bad. I read a little too quickly.

Generally agree but funds are not unlimited and right now there’s more downside than upside. Don’t catch a falling knife.

Except the local versions of those companies make zero profit and have no taxable income. This why everyone agreed on a basic business tax rate until the orange monkey pulled out.

Canada’s total exports are about 35% of total GDP. So that puts US exports at somewhere around 24% of GDP. Pretty high but then if we exclude oil and gas and potash exports it’s a much, much smaller number. So small in fact that we would probably replace those exports within 12 months.

I wonder if anyone else other than the US wants some oil, natural gas, or potash? And yes I know we currently lack pipeline capacity but at this point I’d be willing to let the government finance it all to move oil and gas to the east coast.

I really think Americans over played their hand.
