Numerous media outlets are predicting a landslide victory for Mark Carney, which is excellent news. I fear Canadians will become complacent. Please don’t let that happen! Remember Kamala - stay focused and keep all eyes on the prize, and when the time comes, VOTE!!

Carry on Carney! 🇨🇦

Avocado 🥑 They do that to me too, and sometimes steal avocado plants I’m growing…🤯

I wonder if we could live without armies. Costa Rica has no army anymore, putting the former military budget toward education, and Panama is getting rid of theirs. Think of what we could do for the environment, education, and healthcare with the money.

I was just wondering, when all the dust has finally settled, will it be difficult to get the people of the Province of America to accept free healthcare?

Truth Matters on Substack Today we witnessed some outstanding speeches at the NATO summit. This speech from the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen will I believe be the defining moment when a felonious U.S. president tras...

Boycotts. I've worked corporate retail for twenty years. It's literally my job to know how and why consumers spend. ONE DAY WON'T MEAN SHIT.
Stop buying EVERYTHING except essentials. Until further notice. If you're serious about making companies pay attention, long term action is the only way. 

arosenfield2016 
Delete all of your retail apps. Unsubscribe from all emails. Go to the actual site and leave site reviews telling them exactly what you're doing and why. Every company tracks NPS scores, consumer sentiment, to direct future plans. Email customer service. Daily.

Fill your carts and abandon them. But don't fill with crazy high ticket ones. Fill with what you would normally purchase. High ticket items they'll ignore as flukes/bots.
People whose shopping data they already have, who fill and abandon, they'll pay more attention to. 

arosenfield2016 
Not everyone can boycott places like Walmart, I know, I grew up in a super rural area. Research brands they carry that are the lesser of all evils if nothing else and buy those. The big brands will lose market share. They HATE to lose market share.
They'll scramble to figure out why and where it's going.

Seeing the impact will take time. Its earnings call season for most retailers who ended their fiscal years on 1/31. We won't see their Q1 2025 results until May.
HOLD THE LINE.

This is what we’ve been doing in Canada. Boycott it all.
Calling stores, corporate offices & asking why they aren’t doing anything, telling them why we won’t buy their products.
If a business is making zero effort in the buy Canadian movement/elusive/lying about product origin…we shop elsewhere.

Don’t be so hard on pigs. They are clean, intelligent, and sensitive creatures who deserve better PR, unlike some humans I can think of…

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Bookshop.org enters the e-book arena, giving indie stores a new way to compete with Amazon "Everything Amazon can do, we want to do as well or better," says CEO Andy Hunter on boosting indie sales digitally.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do!

Our dishwasher beeps nine times to let us know that it’s done, which is about eight more times than I need in order to know that the dishwasher is done.

Winter is such a great time of year to read a book. Maybe something like a history of the Second World War.

Anyone familiar with Aesop’s story of the farmer and the snake? Seems pretty apropos these days…

It’s -20c outside where I am, so I guess Hell has actually frozen over, which would explain a lot.
