This is what I've been saying. It's market share.

If people collectively boycott the shitbox that is Tim's maybe they'd be forced to close some sites and give way to something new.

We need to revive or create a new Canadian coffee shop. There's so many areas for people in the space to capitalize if they can tap the market right and promote themselves.

Does lemmy or piefed have communities for BuyCanadian and promoting Canadian businesses?

    /c/buyCanadian exists.

    I don't know how to do insurance linking properly, but if that doesn't automatically work, here's another link: https://lemmy.ca/c/buycanadian

    Hahaha hahaha haha

    On lemme they broke these groups down into multiple groups consisting of 6 people each. Essentially they're built to destroy any possible momentum before you get anywhere. There's a ton of groups to post about memes with loose formats that build community. So if you wanted to post about beans or moths you're golden. The actual groups to be more political or social minded are fragmented purposefully. This one here is only news articles, this one is only mêmes, I don't think there's even a single one for clips so that isn't even an option. Good luck.

    I think lemme very much encompasses why the left has regressed over the past 20 years. They're even being regressed by anti vaccine advocates. It's pretty sad. I wish we could be more socially aware about how to build these things up. But it does make sense why there isn't much for the boycotts or leftist groups.

    Second Cup exists.

    So does Robin's (though it's lost a lot of locations in the last several years)

    Maybe regionally. From the west coast I have never heard of Second Cup as anything other than making coffee flavoured granola bars years ago, and up until now I thought Robin's went out of business in the early '00s.
