Good thing my wife and I canceled our Amazon Account in January. Seeing shit like that show up on Amazon makes me wanna puke. They fired 3700 employees in Quebec recently and now this. Canadians, let"s boycott them all, there are alternatives to American products out there.

Well, in our case, we cancelled all American based subscriptions. We have replaced them with European based services or local instances (for shopping, we are back to brick and mortar and Canadian owned first). The first services to go were all Google ones (we canceled all of them including Gmail, Photos, Drive and YouTube premium). Then is was all Facebook accounts (closed) and Instagram. We were not on X so that was not an issue. In my case, I quit hanging around in Reddit and started looking into alternatives (such as Lemmy). So far, we don't miss anything. The only service we are still keeping for now is Netflix as we haven't found a great alternative yet. I have restarted Torrenting and currently looking into building my own Plex server for media management.
