Good call. The odds of Bezos of being part of Vichy America's cabal is high. A man who prefers their deliveryfolk to piss in bottles and break their bodies in warehouses, is pretty likely to support a war machine that assaults Canada.

It will be important for Canada to divorce itself from as many Vichy services and goods as possible.

Amazon l'ont bien mérité après ils ont fermé les entrepôts syndiqués.

Amazon deserves it after they closed unionized warehouses.

Legends. Please more of exactly this. Fuck Amazon so hard.

Hard caveat: As long as the local provider is not just drop shipping Amazon.

Yes! Every Canadian municipality and provincial department should do this.

Not just municipalities, not just Amazon and not just Canada:

Every person must stop giving their money to businesses owned by fascists.

Hell yeah. I would also hope as many engineers as possible resign from SpaceX, Tesla and the Boring Company, but sadly too many of them probably a) have no problem with their boss's ethics or b) are financially stressed and are afraid to do so, or c) are addicted to the lifestyle enabled by their pay grade.

The biggest trick capitalism pulled on all of us is keeping wages 'not too low, not too high' so we are all not starving, yet afraid to walk away from our jobs.

H1-B visas. They keep working there because they don’t want to leave the US. Often they have entire lives and family in the US and have not simply been there for a few short years.

Ah, yes I forgot that angle -- that period of indentured servitude (slavery) for the hope of being allowed to participate in the illusion of "The American Dream" ...

I believe I read that Amazon recently closed its warehouses in Quebec because one unionized.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

Correct, 7 warehouses got closed

Unfathomably based. Good work Canada, I look forward to being annexed soon
