I’m not on Matrix but it appears there are 18 people on the server.

Friendica has an address of a grocery store outside of Toronto that she supposedly works at.

Would be funny to call and ask for her.

Just got it an hour or so ago.

Can someone explain the con?

Canadian here, sure feels like its against us, especially given the border threats.

We literally have articles coming out from mainstream outlets talking about guerilla warfare. People here are starting to get rabid.

I don’t think your dimwitted leaders understand how much the average Canadian resents being forced to deal with america (for decades), the resentment is turning into hatred.

If we were to assume that everyone would just wait until the 15th to do all their amazon orders that they waited a week for then I would agree it’s symbolic.

For many, this will be what happens, but for some, they will find an alternative. Then maybe in the future they chose that alternative too. It’s about gradual progress towards better alternatives. For you, maybe finding ways to make your work less reliant on those things would help. Or if that’s not possible maybe working somewhere else that doesn’t make you sacrifice your values.

As an example, one person choosing to educate themselves on animal welfare might not have much effect today, or tomorrow, or even next week. But after years, even small changes can mean the elimination of suffering for dozens or hundreds of lives.

I don’t think advocating people do nothing while vaguely gesturing at doing more while offering no alternatives or next steps is meaningful action.

Sounds like an excuse to not get started.
