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.
Have you looked online at The Cape Breton Beard Factory?
Credit cards. Not like a Canadian Tire card, but the equivalent of Visa, MasterCard or AMEX. I have a line of credit through my bank, but it's tied in with Visa. Think of the amount of $ we give the US through interest and/or annual fees! Would it be in the billions?
WHY isn't there a Canadian credit card?
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.
They don't have a clue.
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.
Canceled Prime weeks ago and done with Amazon. Unsubscribed to all US websites. We always prefered to buy locally, but would occasionally jump the fence. No more jumping. If it's not either local, made in Canada, or Product of Canada, we're doing without.
I'm Canadian and I just got permanently banned from reddit for speaking out against 47 and his underlings. Free speech? Yeah, that's dead and decomposing in the US. The rest of the world can smell the putrid decay wafting from your nation but WE can't clean it up for you.
