Fuck you Amazon. I’m going to inconvenience myself a lot more from now on to stop giving you money.
Issue is more with American laws allowing for anti-humane treatment of workers, as has been the countries tradition since it was founded 2 decades ago.
Amazon can go fuck itself!
The solution would be easy if everyone would do it. Stop buying from Amazon. I’m trying to buy anything I need directly from the provider or at good old fashioned stores.
i use bookshop.org whenever i need to order a book online. a portion of the sale goes to my local book coop.
There ya go! Will get my books from there now
Amazon has been my last purchasing option for many years now - brick & mortar, CL/FB market used, eBay and then Amazon if all fails and I really need the thing.
Edit - the added benefit of this approach is that friction introduced in the process allows me a cool down period to evaluate whether something is truly needed. Reducing the friction is precisely part of Amazon’s business strategy, and why they had a patent on 1-click shopping until a few yrs ago.
Even if something you actually need is only on Bezos’ website, I’ve had some luck contacting a seller directly and arranging a sale that way.
An alternative to eBay and PayPal is needed! Thiel is up there too with Musk and Bozo.
I look locally for items online first, but where I am at some computer/hardware/tool items are hard to get especially with Canadian Tire turning into a terrible place to buy tools. Amazon is good for folks like my mom that doesn’t drive and is not very mobile. Amazon will delivery heavy items to her door so she doesn’t have to hobble out to a store
This is not new. Walmart has done it as well.
Canadian government could give a shit.

The Canadian government is in favor of anti-union behaviour. See the last year of strikes and government intervention.
Yup. One of the reasons I don’t like Trudeau. (Would take him over PP though)
Such a shitty situation. The devil you know, or the even worse devil you know.
We are all much more alike then we want to admit?
Oh no - what are quebequois (sp?) going to do without an Amazon warehouse in their region?!? How will they survive?!?
I am of the opinion that it will help Québec in the long run and give local companies some breathing room to innovate, test, fail, iterate, refine and discover better way to ship to customers (I pray for something better than Intelcom/Dragonfly 🙏🤣 ).
Amazon just dropped a huge marketshare of online purchases in Québec (51% of total value in dollars), they almost had the control on how local businesses would have to reach customers online and suck every profit out of each transactions.
Moreover, Amazon will now have to deal with higher rate of return, damaged and lost packages while on less than stellar delivery (I blame specifically Intelcom).
Is unionising not protected in Canada?
Yes, but only one of the 7 warehouses was unionized. So they are adamantly stating it had nothing to do with that (yeah, right…)
I guess mercury was in retrograde?
So, it’s criminal to fire an individual after they join a union, but shutting a site is coincidence. Gotcha.
You’re hired as regional operations manager! You’re gonna go far! 👍
Oh yeah, we’re gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that’s the usual deal.
Yes, but Amazon said that before 2020 they used only 3rd party last mile delivery and it worked fine, so they are going back to it, “this has nothing to do with union”.
He can shock and awe a mouldy ringpiece when workers with actual rights start laughing at the baldy cunt
The rich love convincing themselves (and the general population) that the working class and therefore society at large depends entirely on them and on their gracious “job creating” generosity to not only survive, but exist.
In reality it is the exact opposite that is true - without the workers to exploit, they are nothing, and if the workers of the world unite, we can get rid of them, and their oppressive systems, for good.
Imagine the shock and awe they would experience when that finally happens.
The average business owner maybe, but I think by the time you get to Jeff Bezos levels of avarice he knows he’s not on the side of good.
Lmfao, you seriously underestimate the cognitive dissonance it takes to function at that level. If anything, he’s probably even more convinced that he is the saviour of humanity than some random business owner.
Yeah, rich people tend to think that they’re good, skilled, smart (and not exceptionally lucky) people.
They worked hard because they wanted to support their families. They give their families good lives. They helped many other people get wealthy. They pay shareholders (aka. other wealthy people) and workers (aka. people who don’t work as hard as them). They pay their
taxesaccountants. They’re so giving!So giving! And so honest, which is why you guys know exactly how they think. They’re happy to tell us all about it.

Good, keep forming unions and keep making them shut down facilities. They’re shitty places to work and fund a shitty human being, who funds other shitty human beings.
Yep, they should def keep forming unions. I like Amazon though. It’s been a great employer in my town.
Using the website keeps getting more and more shitty to use. Try to not fund them, folks.
#ByeByeBezos
Can we get the Panier Bleue back then?
