It was all planned for Jared Kushner to leech off of the infrastructure development and repair contracts in Israel and the land they just stole from Palestine and Lebanon.

Wow I didn't realize one mistake negated my entire point. Thanks for your contribution.

  1. No shit, but the ones I listed control a large margin. Where did I say they are the only ones?
  2. Which one?
  3. That's not what I'm arguing. Not sure why you're bringing this up.
  4. Costco is owned by the US. Their markup is irrelevant.

Thanks for explaining American capitalism. But I'm talking about why Canadians don't support Canadian businesses instead of US businesses.

 

I've been thinking about this for a while. If you looks at our major industries that aren't controlled by Canadian oligopolies, we let the US take over and continue to support them. For example, streaming services (Netflix, Spotify, Paramount, HBO, Disney, YouTube, etc...), fast food (McDonald's, Starbucks, Wendy's, Five Guys, Timmies, etc..), home improvement (Home Depot, Lowe's, Rona), retail (Wal-Mart, Amazon, Costco), tech (Google, Apple, Microsoft), credit payments (Visa, Mastercard), food brands (Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, print media (Postmedia Network, which controls over 130 newspapers across the country), social media (Insta, Snap, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp), retail gas (Esso, Ultramar, Chevron, Pioneer) are all US companies. I can keep going on (pharmaceuticals, oil and gas operations in Alberta, and entertainment).

It's ironic when I see Canadians hating on immigrants for not being "Canadian", yet those Canadians copy Americans like no tomorrow. And now we have separatists in Alberta simping for the US and politicians that vocally support Trump (Doug Ford, Danielle Smith, and PP). Wtf is going on?

Why would you choose this over others?

Lol you didn't answer his question. Because you couldn't, you went on an unusual "ImMa FiGht Fer Mer ConTry" rant.

I find it hilarious that the Canadians that are supposedly boycotting American products are still all over Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Refreshing to see politicians actually support the working class. Respect to Mamdani.

In my Canadian province of Ontario, the exact opposite happens, our premier, Doug Ford (former drug dealer and college drop-out), stopped pay increases of nurses during COVID and is funneling billions of our tax dollars on nursing agencies owed by the wife of previous premier.

Are Indigenous populations deforesting the Amazon? Are they forcing oil pipeline projects that cause massive oil spills that pollute rivers and lakes for thousands of years? Do they force mining projects that pollute earth for thousands of years? Did they invent forever chemicals that have now pollute every single square inch of earth? No, they live sustainably.

they pollute that much because they own the facilities that support our lifestyle

I didn't know their private jets, yachts, and companies that lobby for lax environment rules support my lifestyle.

Where are all of the Conservative party supporters in Canada that want provinces to switch to American-style medical care? You guys are always quiet on articles like this.

Free Palestine.

 

What an absolute joke. Public transit is already at full capacity, bills and expenses are higher than ever and they want us to come in everyday and spend $300-$500/month commuting to work.
