if you want to pay artists instead of asshole tech CEOs who militarize your money USE BANDCAMP to purchase digital music, not #spotify or any of the other streamers at least 85% of your cash goes to the artist through bandcamp

canada post and crown corporations are set up to provide services, not profits. we don't demand profits from police or sewer workers, so why should canada post ? #CDNpoli #CanadaCons
