  • I was banned 3 days for “hate speech” because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.

    I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a “photo” of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because…really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.

    I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn’t permitted to speak against this threat?

    I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn’t even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.








  • I recently asked this as well. I have a line of credit/Visa through my bank and an AMEX card. No balance on AMEX, small balance on Visa.

    At this moment, there doesn’t seem to be a true 100% Canadian credit card to compare/compete with the big US cards (ie Visa, MC, AMEX). Think of the HUGE amount of $$$ the US collects from us in interest/annual fees. Is this $$$ even considered in the “trade imbalance” between 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇲?

    It’s pretty difficult for most of us to get by in the modern world without having access to a CC. I don’t know if you can even book a hotel room or rent a car without one. For online shopping, usually the only options for payment I’ve seen are CC or PAYPAL. There used to be an option for Interac but it doesn’t seem to be as common antmore. We could opt for no-fee cards and pay the balance off every month, but I know not everyone can afford to do that. Some are living hand to mouth and buying groceries with their CC.

    It would be amazing if we 🇨🇦 had our own CC. I’d switch in a heartbeat.




  • We 🇨🇦 have been yelling at 🇺🇲 for months now, “Boycott, protest, do SOMETHING!” Very happy to see them take action against the orange shitgibbon and his ‘88’ fanatics. Well done! We’re doing what we can by boycotting the US, but it ultimately falls to the 🇺🇲 people to clean up their own house.

    Perhaps I just missed it, but I didn’t see any support from local government, such as Mayors or Governors, speaking at the protests. Oh, well. Carry on without them and remember who stood with you and who hid under their desk.

    I was put on a 3 day ban for “hate” because I commented about the ongoing Palestine/Israel conflicts. Basically, I said Hamas committed a horrible act but the IDF/Netanyahu have also done terrible things. To be clear, I said BOTH groups have blood on their hands.

    I was banned, but commenters who condemned Hamas/Palestine and called for ALL of them to be killed and then PRAISED the IDF/Netanyahu for killing them, were NOT banned.

    Apparently, we are only allowed to speak out against one particular group 🇵🇸 ☪️. The other group 🇮🇱 🕎, is absolutely innocent, perfect, and has never harmed anyone. Allegedly.

    We’ll see if THIS gets deleted.
