It's knowingly selling user data and notoriously intrusive with opaque terms of service. We as a population don't benefit from not being able to buy a TV without its preinstalled spyware.

I can't imagine a reason that would justify abandoning my boycott of US comestibles when they don't even have a functioning EPA and less than 1% of our food products are being inspected... at least there are standards and consequences on this side of the border, I'll pay an extra $0.50 for that.
If Loblaws thinks Canadians are going back to 🇺🇸 products, they’re going to get burned. Canadians are PROUD of our local businesses and we support them.
I will continue to seek out Canadian products, with my “discretionary” spending used to support small, local products.
I AM CANADIAN 🇨🇦

Loblaws actually an American stooge.
Loblaws is rich, fat and lazy. They don't want to change their golden money machine.
Loblaws sells mostly American products, it's the most disloyal company in Canada. Now the Loblaws CEO is saying Canadians are weak, that we are giving up on #BoycottUSA

Marjorie Taylor Greene's pension must be an afterthought of the timing of her resignation.

Can we raise funds for public psych evale of our leaders? I understand the campaign nor the tax base deserve to pay of it but if we're willing to raise funds privately then public officials should be forced to get paid to take a privately funded psychiatric evaluation with results available by FOIA.

I am so thankful for this administration's incompetence. For as cruel and greedy as these politicians are, it would be infinitely worse if their staff knew how to file motions, briefs, or butcher the constitution with amendments.
Even still, some lives were ruined forever so remember to donate too.

Why is Europe assuming everyone will always want to do business with USA, use USD as the reserve currency, or rely on security from a violent offender?
When diplomacy works it's just a matter of time EU markets and consumers will outgrow USA markets who are sprinting away from the rest of G20 now.

Religion isn't stupid: if you believe then you believe, but if you believe "because" anything, then it is objectively stupid. The word "stupid" is defined by the absence of logic.

This world carries darkness in abundance, shadows that stretch long and cold. Joy is the medicine that mends what breaks, the balm that soothes what aches, the light that refuses to be extinguished. Seek joy in each dawn that breaks—let it be your daily practice, your ritual.

I'm pretty liberal, I'm even tolerant of Nazis if they have the sense to keep their insane ideas to themselves.
But if they're gonna say something remotely debatable about what "everyone knows" about a race of people then I will always object.
Regardless of intent, that is racism, full stop.
