Section is towards middle. They don’t disclose how much the surplus is, but the obvious conclusion is that if Canadians never buy another US made vehicle, then it is a net reduction in jobs/revenue for US makers even if entire Canadian auto sector is destroyed. It is a significant ask for US investment if end result is losing money/US jobs for it.
Uhhhh - yeah? You saying he’s not?
I smell an incel.
Dude Reddit is over there.
I’m saying it’s unproductive just like most complaining and protest. If you want to make lasting change you first need to fundamentally change how you live your life.
Not sure what you mean, would you provide some examples of how you have fundamentally changed your life?
Consumer habits is a good place to start. Actually be mindful of what you’re spending money on and your actions. Not sacrificing ethics for convenience. For example, people love working from home. They don’t pay attention to how working remotely funds American tech companies like Microsoft and Google while at the same time reducing the revenue from our public transit systems. Demanding to work from the office will have a bigger impact than posting on American or Chinese owned social media and attending solidarity “elbows up” rallies.
This is such an incredibly stupid take. Like working from home has anything to do with how massive Microsoft and Google are, they were huge before WFH.
You also seem to be under the assumption that everyone takes public transit to get to work. The reality is, many of them will commute to work in their car. This is terrible for the environment and clogs up the highways with people who don’t even need to be on the road and can just do all their work from home.
You just sound like one of those people who works a job that can’t be done from home and is just jealous of the ones that can. Work from home is a huge benefit for employees and the environment, saying “Microsoft bad” doesn’t change that.
So what’s your take?
Sorry, I’m not sure how to interpret this as an example of how you have personally fundamentally changed your life.
Mindful consumer habits is the example I gave. I used to be a sucker for convenience like a lot of people. I’ve also started paying attention to politics, and I mean politics not news headlines about politics. Making up my own mind on the opinions of others has been a real life changer.
Sounds like you have too much time on your hands
So you stopped eating out, stopped buying prepared food, stopped buying animal products, stopped paying for online subscriptions, stopped buying the products of slavery sold in all our supermarkets… right? Or what are we talking about here?
Yeah, those are the goals. Apart from not buying animal products. You’re talking to someone on the decentralized fediverse, is that so hard to believe?
