Slavery isn’t illegal in the US under the US constitution specifically if you’re convicted of a crime. The anti slavery amendment specifically allows that loophole. Not sure why people think slavery was abolished there, when all that actually happened were a change in the situations allowing it.
The 13th amendment to the US constitution says this: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”


That’s hardly why. More like many Canadians don’t want to go and visit/financially support an actively hostile country with a leader that repeatedly talks about annexing them.
People here going to US to snowbird are kind of considered some low end tier of traitor by many, in fact.
I’m fairly certain a big reason behind Amazon doing this is that older kindles make it trivial to pirate kindle unlimited books. Check out 20, move them off the reader into calibre, decrypt, return the books, get 20 more, etc.
(And before anyone says that the drm removal doesn’t work on kindle unlimited books, that check is two lines of python to fix.)
That’s stupid. Nothing stops you from just installing regular Ubuntu if you love snaps so much.
Not that Canadians can currently reasonably afford beef. Prices are insanely inflated.
