I still shop at Costco, but they're essentially the only American company I do business with at this point. Costco gets a pass for a few reasons:

1. They pay their Canadian (and American) employees very well. My friend group is mostly engineers and our Costco friend makes the second most.
2. They have publicly refused to dump their DEI stuff
3. Galen Weston and friends can eat my ass

I also exclusively purchase Canadian products inside Canadian warehouses so... it's less bad.

What? There's absolutely no way we can interpret intent in this case - this could genuinely be a fair question asked in good faith.

"What about US tech?" could be interpreted a number of ways, from "are Canadians also divesting from US tech?" to "But Canadians aren't divesting from US tech, what about that?". There's no reason to believe this person is going after the latter case here when "ok that's retail, how's tech doing?" is equally likely and imminently reasonable.

I'm fine to get dog piled here but I think you've assumed bad faith where there is no reason to make that assumption, especially after the user attempted to disambiguate in exactly the way I've described.

I'm also curious to see how Canadian usage of American tech companies has changed. I wonder if it got more people to quit Twitter finally.

Except those who dissented publicly, right? Pretty sure Sotomayor was pretty publicly pissed off at the rest of the court.

I regret to inform you Rutte's office has confirmed officially. I took massive psychic damage when I discovered this was a real post of a real text not a real post of a fake text.

Real tweet, fake text... no way any NATO leader would say "Europe is going to pay BIG" it's just too Trump. Same with the incessant comma splices.

But big congrats to Trump for ruining the information space so completely that I genuinely cannot tell what's real anymore.

I don't wanna be that guy but it's funny to me that this is suddenly true after many statements that there is no video and after GenAI/deepfake has hit the mainstream.

Hey remember when Biden actually did something about this and Trump repealed it immediately?

I'm sure declaring "drugs are cheaper now" will work just as well as it did last time he signed this EO.

First Panama. Then Greenland. Then us.

We must speak up now before there is no one to speak for us.

Uhhhhhhh Meloni is also a medium-far right semi-crazy. She's not sig heiling but she's in the same league as AfD.

Guy making $8/hr: the economy is better now

You need to do it because it's an unnecessary blocker. That's the point. Poor people disproportionately struggle to jump through the hurdles in place for voting, and Poor people disproportionately vote D. R loves to make voting harder under the auspices of "fraud prevention".

They're voting Jill Stein because Daddy Putin says vote splitting is a communist conspiracy
