Hi just a dude who is tired of centralization and censorship because of powerful companies. 🇨🇦
J’parle français aussi vu que j’suis Québécois. ⚜️
Ну тоже Русски, но Слава Украине! 🇺🇦
Just don’t buy it from Amazon. But it’s really funny lol
As it was said just bellow, it’s due to shipping companies.
As regular citizens, we can « import » up to 800$ without paying tariffs. However, let’s say company A imports items from the US. They will do so with numbers over 800$, probably in the thousands or millions. This means it’s over the limit of obligatory signaling to the border agents and then they pay tariffs on that amount.
It’s kinda that process.
To be fair, as someone said, it’s not EV that will save the environment. They bring their own problems such as rare earth minerals, heavy metals, lithium fires, heavier cars = move road degradation because of weight, more PM2,5 because of the weight on caoutchouc tires, the difficulty to replace parts when broken because of the more locked design and less right to repair friendly and more.
Are they good for the environment? More than a combustion car, probably. Are they the silver bullet solution? Absolutely not. We are in Canada and we have industries, local, that could benefit from investing into public transportation and trains. That’s true Canadian investment to our companies and solutions to the current environmental crisis.
Franchises? No. But it could easily raise prices that are already absurdly high and make it more difficult for fans to come and watch. It might not be something for everyone, but a lot of people, myself included, love hockey in Canada and support their local team.
It would suck to make the tickets more expensive and even make things difficult for the finances of a team which would force them to relocate or sell it. Who knows.
I know there are more important things, but I’m just saying how it is seen by people.
Haha fair enough. If Batman was saying his opinions on tariffs, I’d be surprised as well ^^
Chirping in, it’s probably because you watch the Leafs.
No but for real, I agree. The amount of ads since Covid has increased drastically and it’s so annoying. So many board ads, so many jersey/helmet ads, betting ads are everywhere and it’s just… urgh. I love the sport, but it’s such an horrible league. I’ve been going more to LHJMQ and it’s more fun (local Québec league).
Probably since it’s less than a certain amount of dollars, like under 1000$ or 500$, then it’s not considered significant enough? I don’t know frankly and I doubt the American administration knows either since they change things every other day.
I listened to it with my dad. Horrible. This guy is mentally ill and doesn’t comprehend what tariffs do. It will crash America’s economy and squeeze even harder the middle class there. Unless that’s what he wants…
Amazing!
« Ce n’est pas très clair ce qu’il veut exactement. La seule clarté, c’est ce qu’il a dit à multiples reprises que son but c’est de faire écrouler l’économie canadienne pour ensuite pouvoir parler d’annexion. C’est ce qu’il veut alors, je ne sais pas quelles négociations on pourrait entamer actuellement pour le convaincre. - Justin Trudeau, en réponse aux questions des journalistes
Cette partie est particulièrement intéressante et le fait que Trudeau deal avec une personne complètement craqué est très claire. Bien content que ce soit lui et non PP le premier ministre en ce moment. PP aurait vendu le Canada directement.
That sounds fun! I’m guessing it’s based on Eurovision which I’ve been watching every year since I was a little kid as an Russo-Ukrainian immigrant here in Canada. Can’t wait to see what comes out of it!
The worst case scenario would have been an early election before the one in the US and be stuck right now with both Trump down south and PP here.
We can hope
You’re welcomed :)
I thought the same!! I’m in environmental public health and seeing stats like this makes me pissed. How much progress we are losing to false information, lies and propaganda is absurd. I get that with a cost of living crisis it’s harder for some people to care when they can’t eat or pay their rent, but urgh
Oui francophone, mais on peut être bilingue si y’a assez de gens qui sont intéressé. Mais je vais personnellement poster en français à 99%. Si tu es intéressé de rejoindre la communauté, ça super super chouette. : )
Was also about to comment this. Amazon already has the money from the gift card purchase. Not spending it would technically leave Amazon with more profits. Try to find Canadian products there and use only the money from the gift card. Thanks for doing that : )
Thanks for visiting! I’m happy you enjoyed your stay. I’m from Québec and I love hearing people enjoy it : )
They are so pathetic holy shit. I saw the messages between the Polish minister and Musk and that’s so childish of Musk omg. Grow the fuck up
