Canada should increase it in response. Then drop the mic.

This mother fucker is so exhausting.

"Please tax us more as long as it makes the orange man mad". You people are crazy.

If Carney really wanted to stick it to Trump and help Canadians at the same time, he could change piracy laws to decriminalize pirating US content or better yet anything other than Canadian content. But nope, he wants us to pay more for the privilege of having US data grace our routers and phones.

Some people are okay with giving up their personal comfort to work against fascists. It's called having a spine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Hey Mr Tramp, how about we consider dropping the digital sales tax if you ligma?

Murica doing murica things. I know I will never step foot in that shithole country again!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Trump doing Trump things, please - the majority don't want any of this bullshit to be happening

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Yah, we don't believe this anymore since he was elected again.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

If the majority didnt want this, then why is it that way? Weird

Oh shucks, it is to bad I have moved to the high C’s for most of my media. It is so much easier now then in the late 2000’s when I stopped because it was easier to pay for the US services. With the *arr apps I have found it is easier to do the pirating. I use a pi-hole to block the ads on the Canadian channels showing US shows. I cancelled all the subscriptions and started paying for CBC; sure I did not need to pay for it as my pihole was blocking the ads but I can now watch the news if I want to, not that I need it but hey I have once or twice! I have moved most of my data off of Apple’s iCloud, I have stopped using everything google (Including their ads), minus YouTube but even then I stopped paying for premium and started using the app Unwatched to block the ads, I wish there was a Canadian version of patron to give money to the few Canadian content creators I follow religiously (Steve Boots, and the Beaverton). I had started degoogle-ing in phases years ago, but Trump pushed me to stop paying for youtube premium and moving to Unwatched.

I moved my blog off of the Wordpress servers on to a Canadian host (I wanna say hosthero); I added the unlimited email package so that I can create pseudo random emails, to replace Apple’s hide my email, (Service name).(random word)(three random words)@reannlegge.ca. I wanted an off site password manager (just incase I broke something) so I pay for 1Password which is Canadian. I moved all of my data off of iCloud minus the backups for my iPhone and iPad because I do not have the hardware to do it at home at the moment to easily back it up at home.

Can you share what you’re using for photos backups instead of iCloud? I haven’t found a service that’s family-friendly enough to get buy in my my partner.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I self host Nextcloud, and it holds all my photos.

🤝 Canceling American services and paying for the CBC 🤝

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Why was OP banned for posting a Reuters link? Or did a mod edit this post somehow after the fact?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Oh okay, i only looked at this community's modlog and was a bit confused. That makes more sense.

Smash us with tarrifs. Refuse entry to all politicians. I dare say hold back the maple syrup.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The (very real) Maple Syrup Mafia would not be happy if they could not sell to the US. They should really start working at other markets.

Sure like breaking bad meth, but in Canada so it is maple syrup instead.

Canada needs to build about 400 nuclear warheads as part of our NATO rearmament commitments, then we need to cut off all energy and resource exports to them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If we could only pull that off without being preemptively "defended" against... I don't think them fuckers would sit tight while we make a nuke. I think the only way we pull this off is if we could buy or "host" European nukes which must happen in total secrecy and extremely quickly from conception to deployment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Make that a medium term measure while we develop our own. We have the resources and technology to build it quickly.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just cause the US has dropped two nukes (accidentally and unarmed) on Canada does not mean we need to arm up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

On the contrary. Become like Switzerland, neutral and too big of a mouthful to chew on.
