My age group in Canada was indoctrinated to think anything less than a university degree was signing your own death warrant job wise. That evolved into younger generations doing the same with masters and PhD programs. Now it’s even worse than it was then. I hope my kids choose wisely.

Hahaha can’t even show up to protest. Who would build the guillotine?

Shut up. They’re supposed to forget about us.

I live rurally so I have removed myself from society? You have some interesting ideas. Incorrect, assumptive ideas but ideas none the less.

And you draw assumptions as well. I assure you I am a part of my society and fight for the things I believe in. You seem to know me so well you likely already are aware of that yet at the same time you don’t care at all.

I’m glad you studied It’s a smart thing to do. It’s a shame you are so knowledgeable yet so bound to a system that does not work for anyone and wastes the vast majority of its food in the name of capitalism. Your high horse seems to have lost its legs.

We can walk the talk and we do, so we’re pieces of shit for actually doing it. Shake your head.

I even got my ass off the couch yesterday and voted against fascism in Canada, though I don’t believe in the party or person I voted for. I’m probably a piece of shit for doing that too.

We don’t need to go to town. We grow almost all of our own food for the entire year. We don’t need movies or bars or restaurants or even…shocker…full time soul sucking jobs. though we do work for some cash flow. We have the internet and piracy, friends with back yards and basements and we can cook just fine, in fact I used to be a sous chef in a former life and is much of the reasom why we produce our own. We live on less money as a family of five than most single people do. Around ~$25,000/Canadian a year. A family of five.

Our impact is minimal compared to yours I bet, considering all my families food with the exception of a few items comes from the 250 acres of land surrounding my house and we care for that land to ensure we minimize the impact from our agriculture practices as much as we can. We use no motorized equipment and farm using regenerative practices.You probably don’t know or care what that means though. Our farm encompasses 1/4 acre. The site where our 3 bedroom home for, again a family of five, sits and is the size of an average “lawn” or “yard” here.

That land also feeds my sister’s family (4 adults who live in the city four hours away) and my father’s (2 adults). We also provide to our local food bank all season long and barter a lot with our neighbors.

And you wonder why there are monumental societal rifts between rural areas and urban. It’s because of people like you who “know better” but have zero actual knowledge or experience to back it up. Just blathering mouthpieces full of nonsense.

A decade ago my wife and I quit our jobs packed our kids and stuff and moved 7000kms to our now rural homestead. Our closest neighbor is 2km away. Town and groceries is a half hour drive one way. We have a huge garden and laying hens. We raise our own chickens for meat as well as quail and rabbits. Our kids hunt and fish and play outside. Like we did when we were kids.

It’s fucking amazing y’all.

I live in a country on the brink of annexation from the most powerful military in the world. I am asking about non American products in a group specifically for avoiding American products and services and buying strictly European goods. You answer with the most obvious, fully fascist company inside the US you can come up with that treats its workers like slaves and so much more regardless of all this information being obvious and right before you. What did you expect other than an attack of the fascists south of our border. If you’ll note not any of that vitriol was directed at you though you took it as a personal attack.

Perhaps it’s not me being the douche canoe.

Yea we have Callebaut in Canada as well. It’s also ~$100/cad for 2.5 kg or ~$25/500g. That’s a do without kinda price for us. I get we have to expect to pay more but we simply don’t have the means for that.

Fuck Amazon. I won’t pay an oligarch or a fascist dictator a penny so they can invade my country and turn us into a puppet state. We have not used chocolate for months for not finding a good option yet.

No thanks on Amazon or any American company or product.

This is the whole reason for the question.

Canadian here. Is there anywhere to get reasonably priced bulk chocolate chips or chunks for baking, in Europe, that ship to North America?

Nothing one of those fancy new blenders couldn’t handle.

Ahhh the good ole…wait a minute…

Yes cause the sanctimonious asshole gets some real nice doozies from muricans happy to live under a dictator right now. Exactly like you’re doing.

Perhaps you didn’t read the rest of the smug sanctimonious assholes from murica saying that everyone and anyone with tattoos basically deserves this treatment because they’ve made “bad decisions” so they are “bad people”.

Either way…I’ll take sanctimonious over slave to a regime any day.

Have a great day. Thanks for the comment.

I get ya. All good. I wanted folks to know. Not one attack after I posted though. I am surprised everyone could digest this and not lose their shit. Maybe they didn’t read it.

I put this specifically because 13’s are extremely popular within a portion of the population and get lumped into MS-13 tattoos but have completely different histories.

I can hear this meme.

And now you get your own tag as well. Have a great day.
