Yeah I have signed out of Reddit, I plan on leaving my account inactive. I know it is a small fraction of a percentage of a cent that it costs to have an inactive account but hey it costs them money.

The world needs Taiwan not just the US, we need to protect them from China and the US.

I will not be buying another iPad or iPhone, I have “De-Appled” most of the things. I have moved almost all of my web services to Canadian hosts, and I look at all my purchases to make sure they are Canadian first or not US second. I use a pi-hole setup to block ads, and Unwatched to block youtube ads. I have raspberry pi’s to do the computer things.

I moved to Lemmy, an open source social network I am on a Canadian host, to get away from Reddit.

The government of Canada is constantly looking for trade deals that are not centred on the US. I think the boycott is working.

I made home made pork broth then the plan was to cook egg noodles in the pork broth with some ham, the egg noodles just sucked up all the pork broth though.

I use a pressure cooker for almost all of my cooking, just fyi.

I am all for supporting Canadian workers, who work at US stores in Canada, however there are other options than Walmart. I was trying to get away from Walmart prior to the boycott because of their business practices, they take suppliers and rap them over the coals.

Try moving to a Canadian retailer (avoid Loblaws though).

We (our government) need to get over trying to appease Trump.

One party resolution called on the government to stop designating carbon dioxide as a pollutant.

Cause you know the Alberta government knows better than the scientific community.

“If we’re able to take some of this money that’s been used for evil and not good, and repurpose it to reduce some of our costs, then I think that that’s a good thing,” acting Regina police chief Lorilee Davies told reporters on Wednesday.

Now just imagine if they used the money to help the disadvantaged people instead, they could lower crime that way.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement by the Ontario government that uses the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan's own words to send an anti-tariff message to American audiences. 

In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump attacked the ad, which he attributed to Canada rather than Ontario, as fraudulent and fake. 

"TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A." Trump wrote. "Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED."

So I guess CUSMA is dead?

"This is a heartbreaking loss, and no words can capture the pain of losing a child. My sincere condolences go to the family during this profoundly difficult time,"

If I could I would kick every antivaxer right in the face because of this.

I really hope it comes back. Best we can do now is stop using those services from US companies.

His elbows aint up anymore!

I have turned off a lot of US services and plan to have more turned off this week, I have been slowly cutting things as I come across them, my elbows are up it is to bad Carney has put his elbows down.

I was looking at my ISPs email stuff, for some reason? I found out they have moved to an exchange service, so a Microsoft protocol. I have sense started moving all of my emails off of there to (they are trying to stop offering email so it is nothing off their back).

As a Canadian in 2025, I have cancelled almost all of my US web services including streaming services. Apple still has there hands in my pocket for some 50G icloud stuff, I have been trying to offload all of my stuff but it takes time.

I have turned to a pirates life for some things other things I just use my pihole to block ads I would love it if I could setup a system on my LAN that I could have ad free streaming music on. I also wish youtube had a Canadian or a not US competitor that came close to the same things.

We all need to stand behind the CRTC and cancel the US streaming services.
