Spotify -> Qobuz (French/Quebec owned)

Dropbox/Drive -> Sync.com

Chrome -> Vivaldi (Norwegian) or Firefox (American but way less evil than Chrome)

Uber -> Public Transit

Home Depot -> Home Hardware

American budget beer -> Moosehead (Canadian union owned) or local brewery

Twitter -> Bluesky (better) or mstdn.ca (best)

Visa/MasterCard/Amex -> Interac/Cash

Esso/Shell/Costco/Husky gas -> Irving/Indigenous owned/MacEwen/Canadian Tire/Petro-Canada/Pioneer

This is the way. I reported, blocked, and moved on.

Norda!

Thanks for correcting my typo!

Thanks, TIL

Thanks pal, can’t wait to try them.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

Has there been any talk of Quebec/Newfoundland doing the same? The eastern seaboard of the USA depends on Canadian energy. Including New York city.

FWIW, I first heard about manifest destiny in history class at my Canadian elementary school.

That is how it’s been marketed as in the past.

However, in terms of his policy, usage of the notwithstanding clause to suspend our charter of rights and freedoms, forcing through of legislation, and privatisation, Ford would be best described as an authoritarian neoliberal.

I’m glad he’s finally ripping up the contract but still cautious since this isn’t the first time he’s said that.

What are your favourite Quebec beers for when it’s allowed in a few weeks from now?

Very good point. There is less overt pressure to align on USA foreign policy. However, we still face online propaganda campaigns when they disagree, including by USA-owned media outlets in Canada.

I’m concerned that outright condemnation of Israel’s genocide would make his chance of winning the Canadian Liberal leadership race and becoming PM much more difficult with the level of anti-semitic accusations that leaders who do so suddenly face. It’s such a toxic political climate right now…

Canada has admitted far, far more Ukranians than Palestinians when we should be urgently admitting both.

Many local bike shops sell them so it’s worth asking to support local. I find the Arkel cam mechanism with the hook to be much quicker, easier, and more durable than Ortlieb panniers. It goes on and off my rack in literally 2 seconds.

I actually regret purchasing an Ortlieb bag years ago, although those German-made bags are high quality too.

This Hour has 22 Minutes has been so funny lately! It was my gateway to CBC Gem.

Could it be time for a wiki too? I wonder if lemmy.ca has any wikis in use that we could lean on.

This article has many great Canaduan recommendations too.
