        Strange. Is Amazon saying that? That doesn’t make sense. Amazon sells a lot of stuff that local businesses don’t have. They would still have to ship a lot of stuff out of province or from the US. If Amazon is saying this, I think it’s just a scare tactic.

            Doubt it’s true they can do that but that’s just my guess. 🤷🏻
