    You’re right, but most of us mortals are outside of the web services / virtualization world to even be able to tell what small mom and pop company is using an AWS service for their site.

    This is more about stopping them with the end consumer products and services. If we stop buying from them, they’ll hopefully pack up and leave the country.

    But yes, I do agree with you.

    I got an una watch I had mentioned in another thread. They’re from Scotland and made there.

    It’s still early phases but it’s a module end user repairable watch with a developer environment so anyone smart enough can create apps for it.

    So far I’ve given up things from my Apple Watch but haven’t really missed them and I’m a big exercise nut.














  • As much as I hate to admit it, Canada really need to be able to refine our own resources. We have all this energy, but in order for us to use it, we need to shunt it down to those gross ass yanks and then re-import it.

    We need capacity to do this ourselves to supply our own people with our own power. Same with mills and other needs that we as a nation require.

    We can’t even have nuclear plants without those fucking shit stains that enrich it as we don’t have capacity to do that.

    We are falling short of maintaining our lives as free Canadians constantly being shackled to those yanks and I fucking hate it.


  • When your news and media is owned by right wing US oligarchs, they’ll spew whatever make believe Christian bullshit they want for the plebes to slurp it up and repeat their hate.

    Canada needs to block all US news and if not, it needs to be labelled as US owned so when you’re reading the Calgary Herald, you know that it’s a filthy US propaganda rag, by way of post media is a grotesque idea of journalism.

    Less America, more Canada.






  • This is what happens when you vote in cons who destroy public institutions for private dollars and leave a trench so deep, no other party can fund our way out of it.

    Ontario is still dealing with the Harris debacle and that was 30ish years ago. Now we have captain cankles who’s a cuck for loblaws and privatizing everything he possibly can for our OHIP to be spread thinner by being used at private for profit clinics at twice the cost of public services.

    We need real leadership that doesn’t bend over to lobbyists and corporate dollars in private home based off the records deals.
