Huh, Canada Gov learning a lesson about being able to fix something you bought, like the F-35?
What if you also learned that farmers, techies and lots of people would also love the right to repair stuff too.
Maybe fix that up across the board for everyone.
@burgerbecky My guess is that if a landlord buys up all the houses in the area, it can A. rent them out at inflated prices or B. demolish the houses to make hotels. This is the kind of situation illustrated in Elizabeth Magie's Landlord's Game (later modified by Charles Darrow as Monopoly).

Yes: respond to #USA breach of trade deals (imposition of import tarriffs), by revoking #Monopoly #Patent and #Copyright for #USA corporations, to the benefit of one's own country.
#IntellectualTheft (monopolies on culture) keeps medicine from the poor, keeps education from the needy, keeps science from those who will benefit. Now the trade deals are violated, no need to continue protecting USA #Corporation #rentier profits.
This is a great idea, I would love to see #Australia do this also.

"As set out in your terms, from 1 April 2025, the price of your XX main services will increase by the Retail Price Index (RPI) rate of inflation, plus an additional 3.9%"
Yes, I knew that was coming when I extended the contract. And I am lucky that I can afford it.
But, guys, you know this looks #greedy and exploitative?
Maybe #Rentier capitalism is so in vogue that you don't care what your customers think about you.
Frohe Weihnachten und einen schönen Abend wünsch ich!
