A Trade War imposed on Canada by Dictator Trump is not an excuse to rip up environmental laws and boost oil and gas further

We need to continue to de-carbonize our lives, businesses, government and organizations and vastly increase our parkland forever

We need to end all subsidies to oil, gas, coal and nuclear, and instead vigorously turn our attention and dollars to clean renewables

A new future, not back to the past

Detaching from US systems, 22/x

In my opinion it is best to start your #boycottus journey by picking the low-hanging fruit first. By this I mean services that are not subject to #networkeffect or #vendorlockin. This gives you easy wins and keeps up the motivation. Good examples are backup and file synchronization services, calendar applications, navigation applications, chat applications for teams and project management software.

Sir Charles Tupper, Bt.

Anybody got any thoughts on a viable Discord replacement that I can use for playing games with relatively non-technical friends?

I'd prefer a low-cost SaaS approach, if the data is not stored in the US, but I'm willing to self-host, if it's not overly complex to maintain.

I really only need text chat and the ability to create group VoIP calls, but it's going to be very hard to convince people to move to a dated application like Mumble, and unfortunately not all participants are Canadians or Europeans who will understand the need to take a bit of pain.

Curious what people are doing in this space.

My third principle is "prefer european", or more generally "prefer software developed in other democratic nations". This is mainly to reduce the political weaponization risk arising from the US. An added benefit is that over time the european software companies might become competitive with those originating from the US.

In the recent months you have probably noticed that the US government is not trustworthy. It seems that US is rapidly sliding towards authoritarianism, oligarchy or even a sort of christo-fascism.

What should we, individuals and organizations located in democractic nations, do about all the dependencies we have to US-made or US-operated IT systems, software and services?

@cbcnews Your headline: “Should Canada turn the other cheek?” is so offensive that words fail me. We are not ever contemplating “turning the other cheek”. We are promoting #BuyCanadian, we are building new trade agreements, we are loudly proclaiming our Canadian pride and posting #ElbowsUp. You should be reinforcing this rather than trying to play devil’s advocate. There is no negotiating with evil, no pacifying a bully. #ShameOnYou. #FourthEstateFilth cbc.ca/news/canada/tariffs-ret

US produce wears out welcome with Victoria, British Columbia grocery store

The store says it has made moves to source all 380 of its fruits and vegetable from non-American growers

“Prior to all of this, one of our most popular spinach was Popeye Spinach. We used to sell 60 to 80 bags a day of that stuff,” said Innis. “In the last week that we had it, we sold two bags. That’s a message.”
