Also the lawsuit is fucking silly. I get that it's trademark law and blah blah blah but there is no version of reality where their customers are gonna be out here mistaking a drag queen's merch for authentic patagucci like please be serious
ngl it's been a little wild to watch people falling all over themselves to praise patagonia as if they're this ultra altruistic environmentalist non profit who's only running a multi billion dollar business mass manufacturing outdoor apparel as a front? it's called Marketing lol
like it's not that their new business model doesn't do some good, but marketing yourselves as a company that cares deeply about conservation and the climate is a little lol to me when you spent 4 decades outfitting the worlds most notorious polluter
as far as multi billion dollar coorperations go patagonia is far from the worst, but a restructuring combined with charitability and good marketing isn't gonna make it so they didn't previously have DoD contracts for 40 years
@ABDanielleSmith me and everyone I know will be voting against everything your government has proposed out of a combination of principle and pure spite jsyk
how dare you introduce a referendum and think you can influence how we vote on it
@veryloudwoman There's a middle ground between aligning with him and acknowledging that he probably won't have a lot of actual sway or influence for a while. I really hope I'm wrong about that, but waiting on it doesn't exactly feel like a top priority to me at the moment.
@veryloudwoman@sbirlios I don't know where he's planning to run or when, but he's unfortunately not in a situation like Pollievre was as a party leader without a seat where he'll get an easy win by running in some guaranteed partisan stronghold.
@veryloudwoman@sbirlios If he didn't think it was in reach he wouldn't have run there. and it's not like he had a bad result either, a quarter of the vote share isn't nothing and it was the best an NDP candidate ever did. Not trying to speak in bad faith, I like the guy a lot, just tryna to be realistic
I like Avi Lewis and align with his stances a great deal. Very much rooting for him to help the federal NDP out of the hole they've dug themselves and actually become a decent left option.
Dudes gotta get a seat in the house before my carts getting behind that horse tho sorry
like show me he can place higher than third in a general in fucking west van sea to sky and maybe there's hope, but until then Avi's gonna need one hell of a coms team
from experience, when you break down the kind of profit margins O&G works with and how little they're taxed, it's pretty easy for folks to understand that oil and gas owes them a hell of a lot more than they're getting on a paycheque
Avi Lewis was a good choice for the federal NDP even if he wasn't my first choice, but the Alberta NDP is right to distance themselves. Hopefully as party leader he can soften some of his previous sentiments about the ABNDP, but it'd be a mistake to expect it.
Oil and Gas will NEVER ❤️ you back, but you can either tell people in AB that until you lose your voice and get nowhere or you can think for half a second and realize that for normal working people, an adequate income feels like love.
