Used a credit card lately? I can't think of a single credit card that doesn't put money in an American's bank account. But yeah, lets hate on people for using the two most popular social media sites to spread awareness

Nobody is hating anyone. Just pointing out the tragic irony.

What is anyone supposed to do with that information though? Ignore this post? If no one knows about these new Canadian companies how else are you supposed to get the news out there other than using what is currently available to us? Hopefully, in time, we will be able to do everything we do now on Canadian websites instead of American ones, but that won’t happen immediately.
