Let's make Canada West mass market baby! Finest boots I've ever bought and worth every penny. Shame they aren't easy to find retailers, but I'll always go out of my way to find them.
As for making our own capacitors, resistors, transistors etc... It makes no sense to build everything within your country. It is important to have a diversity globally so supply chains can be resilient, especially in light of a growing deglobalization trend.
Confidently incorrect.
Canada has Canada West, Viberg and a few others. US has RedWing and Danner.
As for electronics, that's a pretty broad category, but for example in the Audio/Stereo fields, we have NAD, Bryston, Paradigm/Anthem, PSB, Totem, Verity etc... speakers, amplifiers, AVR processors etc...
The US list is even bigger.
No travel to the US. Not buying american groceries. Focusing on Canadian foods at grocery store. If we don't have a Canadian or ABA option we do without. If the labeling is ambiguous or doubtful we do without. Won't shop american brands. I go out of my way to skip home depot or lowes for Canadian Tire and Home Hardware. I routinely look up corporate ownership before making purchases. Amazon is dead to me. I switched old habits like dog food. Now i'm buying a Canadian made food from a Canadian owned store. The list goes on.
This is for life. I'm never going back.
My IR prof once half-joked that to understand IR, you have to frame everything as elementary schoolyard politics.
He was right. We are nuclear enabled children.
Polite demeanor?!?!
That thing is a killer! An arthrothingamajig killed my cousin last week. It ate his face.
It still won't improve then, though it may get less bad, less quickly. Our climate change crisis is effectively permanent and cumulative.
Edit: with a roughly 20 year delay between emissions and warming. (Before tipping points)
True, true. :(
What you say is both true, and completely irrelevant and misleading. The Simpsons' heydays were during Fox's meteoric rise to pre-eminence and at the time Fox News not only supplied Fox with their newsroom coverage they were owned by the same parent at the time. Being owned by Disney now is immaterial to my previous comment.
From wikipedia
Fox went on to become the most successful attempt at a fourth television network; it was also the highest-rated free-to-air network in the 18–49 demographic from 2004 to 2012 and 2020 to 2021 and was the most-watched American television network in total viewership during the 2007–08 season.[3][4] It is a member of the North American Broadcasters Association and the National Association of Broadcasters. Fox does not have network newscasts of its own due to its lack of a news division, and instead relies on the 24-hour Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network to supply news programming to the network.
And regarding Fox News
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News
The Fox News Channel (FNC), commonly known as Fox News, is an American multinational conservative news and political commentary television channel and website based in New York City, U.S.[3][4] It is owned by Fox News Media, which itself is owned by Fox Corporation.[5] It is the most-watched cable news network in the U.S.,[6][7] and as of 2023 it generates approximately 70% of its parent company's pre-tax profit.
Bell, Telus and Rogers should merge. Then we nationalize them as the public entity they always should have been.
The "market" runs on hype and vibes, not facts and results. It's a hustle of magnificent proportions.
Gratuitous /s.
Elbows up!
You don't need to try and fuck them. They are doing that to themselves with more skill, urgency and depth of consequence than anything we can come up with. Just watch with wonder and amazement as America descends into irrelevance then obscurity.
