Amazon l’ont bien mérité après ils ont fermé les entrepôts syndiqués.
Amazon deserves it after they closed unionized warehouses.
Supposement que stait deja planifié avant les syndicats. Apparement que meme quand on avait des entrepots ici, tout se faisais livrer se l’ontario anyway.
T’as raison, maintenant c’est plus justifié.
They didn’t just closed the unionized warehouses, they closed all the warehouse after one of them unionized.
French vibes… No ice
Who wants to bet that Amazon will create a shell company to sell to Montreal?
I’d put my money on individual “entrepreneurs” reselling Amazon goods to the city where necessary. Maybe literally city employees who buy the same stuff personally and just expense it.
Legends. Please more of exactly this. Fuck Amazon so hard.
Hard caveat: As long as the local provider is not just drop shipping Amazon.
If that’s the only option and the local provider is the same final price as Amazon, that still would mean more money stays in Canada and less goes to bozo. Not perfect, but better.
I believe I read that Amazon recently closed its warehouses in Quebec because one unionized.
Correct, 7 warehouses got closed
Unfathomably based. Good work Canada, I look forward to being annexed soon
Why wan’t this always a thing?

I count my lucky stars that I’m born here.
Hopefully the next year or so is going to see changes that make it easy for the good - and especially the vulnerable - Americans to come up here. Fleeing Americans have been our historical source of population, after all.
Well, get ready for a bump! If it wasn’t so damn cold up there I’d probably be one of them. I’m gonna hafta head south instead.
I mean, we have Vancouver that’s cold in more of a damp way than an icy way, I guess. Unfortunately it costs way more too.
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.
IMO all government at every level should be mandated to support local and/or Canadian first when possible. I don’t why an entity that serves the people can’t also be directly supporting those they serve instead of putting that money into other countries - just seems backasswards to me.
I believe the issue would lie with the pressure for government procurements to always go for the lowest cost bidder possible, which would be more difficult for local and Canada-first companies to compete.
While I believe that procurements should strongly prefer local/Canada-first companies, it would come at a price and provide an opportunity for one political party to cry foul over “wasteful government spending”.
I agree completely.
Man I miss the days when my neighbors owned the local businesses. These soulless corporations have totally destroyed the small town “American dream”.
I miss walking into our old hardware store and picking a Super Nintendo game every now and then because my mom talked the owner into stocking them. He had them hanging overhead behind the counter.
He only got the big titles, stuff he knew the kids would want. He’d ask me and my brother when we came in, “What game are they talking about on the playground now, big guy?”
That world is gone. Going to town is pointless unless you have to go to court for something.
This type of business ownership is what I love about so many parts of Europe. The streets are all lined with shops owned by generations of people who live in the area and not by huge multi-national corps. The neighborhood supports the businesses, they help out the neighborhood, and it’s a happy community. I wish we could have this here, but it’s just a capitalist hellhole.
That feels like such a cool and special relationship to have. Tangentially when I worked at a mall I got to know the owner of a local store not far from where I worked that sold all kinds of novelties (pop culture, games, TCGs, etc). I bought a few things to support him and we built a rapport to the point he offered me the employee discount. Felt like being welcomed to the family.
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.
I was about to cave use Amazon because how much cheaper things were compared to eBay.
That story about pissing in bottles came out right when I made my account and I’ve never once used it. Don’t even remember the password.
Much of the time eBay is cheaper. I can get free shipping most of the time for small items. It just takes a little longer to arrive.
Vichy America has a ring to it.
I mean, if we want to be really accurate, it’s more like Nationalist Spain or Mussolini’s Italy, but people don’t history enough for that to make sense rhetorically.
Thats how you do it !
Canada wide. Let’s go!
I’m doing my part!
Same :)
