Good thing my wife and I canceled our Amazon Account in January. Seeing shit like that show up on Amazon makes me wanna puke. They fired 3700 employees in Quebec recently and now this. Canadians, let"s boycott them all, there are alternatives to American products out there.

Amazon is a marketplace — they don’t make these hats. They are a terrible company but these hats aren’t really a reason why.

Wats the deal with that now, is Amazon going back to Canada Post or who’s gonna do the last mile now?

That practice is actually what made me quit using Amazon even before this latest bullshit. I live in a condo, so if I’m not home, they can’t deliver. Every major courier (Canada Post, FedEx, etc) will just take it to one of their shipping locations and I’ll pick it up on the way home from work. With the Amazon couriers, I end up playing phone tag with a person who unfortunately has very poor English, and just generally getting frustrated. Plus the tracking numbers just straight up don’t work.
Well, in our case, we cancelled all American based subscriptions. We have replaced them with European based services or local instances (for shopping, we are back to brick and mortar and Canadian owned first). The first services to go were all Google ones (we canceled all of them including Gmail, Photos, Drive and YouTube premium). Then is was all Facebook accounts (closed) and Instagram. We were not on X so that was not an issue. In my case, I quit hanging around in Reddit and started looking into alternatives (such as Lemmy). So far, we don’t miss anything. The only service we are still keeping for now is Netflix as we haven’t found a great alternative yet. I have restarted Torrenting and currently looking into building my own Plex server for media management.
Anything that can be ordered through amazon can usually be ordered from another company, Canadian or not, and sent by Canada Post - who are way easier to deal with than amazon couriers. You can also search for items on google maps for hits on local store websites.
Gotta make a a Canadian knockoff of Amazon… call it Yukon or something, Youkon? That sounds stupidly modern; ok now we just gotta outperform Amazon within Canada
