If we were to make it too costly for US based companies to advertise would that bolster the “Buy Canadian” trip we’re on. So Ford, Kraft, McDonalds etc can go fuck themselves.

Or we could have a digital services tariff, charging a stiff fee on American techbro monopolists like meta Google reddit Apple amazon etc.
Also hits their ads, and then if they don’t like it they can pull out of Canada. This would open the space to domestic and non-us companies, and noncommercial entities like lemmy.
The American firms hold on because of the network effect and their headstart thanks to VC investments but if we break their network effect we can break our dependence on them. I believe europe is working on something along these lines.
Think big! Let’s really take those fuckers down.
