A third of Canada’s nearly 300 data centres are U.S. owned.

Meaning that 2/3 aren’t.

Canada also already has a coast-to-cost fiber optic backbone that is both Canadian owned and on Canadian soil. It has overseas gateways on both coasts already.

That is a good starting point to build further infrastructure on top of.

Shoppers corporate has been pushing pharmacists to reach billing quotas.

And that corporate ownership is…

Loblaw Companies Limited

Since 2014.

Is anyone surprised that there is shenanigans going on in a loblaw owned store?

Last I heard forensics was still analyzing it.

“unit label pricing”

Another reason I prefer to shop at the Co-Op. They have had unit pricing on their shelf labels for as long as I can remember.

Add that to the fact that they prioritize local and regional product (and identify that on shelf labels as well), and that the profits stay local, rather than going to some international behemoth, and there is very little reason to go elsewhere.

They didn’t become market leaders by being better, they swung enormous capital at every problem, undercut local business until they were driven out, then jacked up prices and degraded service once competition was gone. Uber Eats is just one example of this pattern.

Walmart is the most well known example.

They have been using that approach for many decades.

Every provincial NDP also still has a presence on Twitter…

I’d like to suggest Washington, California, Oregon and Hawaii for your consideration.

Y’know that 35-40 percent of your state’s population that voted for Trump every time they could?

Figure out how to leave them behind, then re-submit your request.

EH Social and Monnett.Social

Both are app-only, no desktop version available.

I already have far too many single purpose apps cluttering up my online existence.

And lemmy.ca

Yeah, that’ll be what happens on Taco Tuesday, as usual.

Does that include electricity?

And potash?

And crude oil?

And lumber?

That may have been the way it initially looked, but after Edison’s founders had meetings with politicians and department heads, they have got some of those roadblocks removed and are well on their way to dealing with the rest.

Most of those regulations weren’t intentionally preventing what Edison is doing, but rather had been created without predicting and accommodating the type of hybrid EV that Edison is making.

It was more a “fell through the cracks” issue and not the government actively standing in their way.

The speed that the regulatory changes have happened is surprisingly fast compared to how government usually moves.

Ramblings of a senile rapist

Ramblings that the world’s political and business leaders just got to experience in person with no media filter.

I can’t imagine any of them improved their opinion of Trump or the country he leads after that experience.

There is more to Carney than I thought.

Having read his book before the election, this is exactly who I expected when I voted.

they can get filthy rich, but not at an expense of people getting low quality product, low quality of life, and in the process messing up the environment too

No they can’t. Those are mutually exclusive.

Someone becoming “filthy rich” is requires the rest of the people getting low quality product, low quality of life, and messing up the environment.

and can be reasonably expected to help defend Canada

“Defend” Canada by using Canada as a buffer zone between that (historically assumed to be Russian) hostile force and the USA.

did Prime Minister Mark Carney know a head of time that if he sent any Military personnel to Greenland, Trump would impose another 25 percent tariff on Canada,

I don’t think Trump’s tariffs on his country’s imports are as effective a threat as Trump thinks they are.

That’s the only route Trump knows.

The Americans (government) could stop this at any moment if they choose to.
