I meant from Canada to the US only, sorry if that wasn’t clear

If I’m not mistaken on average US cars require 6 border crossings for assembly…

It’s the amount of stuff made in the US that relies on stuff made in Canada that will surprise you. Quebec is a huge aluminium producer, 90% of it is sold to US based factories!

I’m just saying that because we produce a shit ton of seeds in Canada so unless you go out of your way to buy mustard produced in Asia, you’re getting Canadian mustard seeds in your mustard.

You would have a hard time finding mustard that doesn’t use Canadian mustard seed…

Don’t believe so, Canada Goose doesn’t like the competition

“You need to pay local taxes on any profit made off Canadians, it’s your responsibility to report your numbers and prove that they’re true, if you can’t we’re blocking your platforms.”

As a Franco Canadian it’s always funny to see Anglo Canadians realize that their culture is the US culture + The Tragically Hip while we punch above our weight in that domain.

Kanuk coats are made in Montreal, Avalanche is another option made in Quebec as well.

Costco made their CEO a multi-billionaire, that means billions of dollars that could have stayed in the customers’ pockets or that could have been redistributed to all employees.

I get your point but society decided it would rather have private interests managing social media so 🤷

Decentralization is one solution though.

Ok buddy, keep on trolling 👍

And you’ll still be free to create your own community, you can even create it on your own instance if you want. It’s not perfect, but there’s ways to work around issues like that on Lemmy.

I mean… You’re on a form of social media and you’re complaining about pro Palestine censorship, seems like you have the solution right in your face.

You’re free to start your own social media where you’ll allow it, that’s how free speech works, as long as the place where you’re sharing your message is owned by private interests, the owner can censor you all they want.

Shitter can censor you all they want, they have zero obligation to allow you to say whatever you want as it’s a privately owned website. You can run your own website and say what you want on it though, just like you can put whatever message you want on your car or on your front lawn and people are free to read it or ignore it.

That’s exactly how it works though. You can say whatever you want on the sidewalk, once you enter a store it’s the store owner that decides if they allow you to say what you want to say.

You can say what you want on your own website, if you say it on someone else’s website they can censor you all they want.

You have freedom of speech where the government can give it to you, stop expecting freedom of speech on platforms owned by private interests, that’s not how freedom of speech works.

Well the next 4 years are part of forever

If you use it incorrectly then yeah. You might as well stop making food as well because clearly you don’t know what you’re doing.
