I have been doing the same, buying the batteries off brand individually is a lot cheaper then OEM labeled/packaged.
Though what are your thought’s on a UPS lifespan not taking in to account the batteries themselves?
I myself have three APC BR1500MS2
Price of energy increases for Americans. Trumps solution increase the price of aluminium for Americans.
That will show them.
Outright bans don’t work, viable alternatives and proper public messaging about who owns the platforms might do the trick.
Similarly for news and media outlets, too much Canadian news is controlled by American companies.
Does this mean you and I should stop shopping at stores like Walmart or Costco, The Bay, Home Depot, Lowe’s?
Or can we still shop at Walmart but only buy Canadian items?
SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust owns the land that Walmart’s operate on. They are Canadian owned and generate revenue from rent.
I understand the sentiment, but just one thing to note/point out, without argument to your point or view.
These are American business that both employ Canadian people and pay Canadian taxes. The profits are American on the one hand, but the economic stimulus to Canada is a benefit on the other hand.
Personally I am a little conflicted in this, I don’t want to see Canadian people loose their jobs.
Though if a foreign owned company is operating inside of our borders with no Canadian presence this would be a no-brainer. I would probably want that type of company to double their resolve and invest in our people with in country manufacturing and production as a example.
I guess news about publishing tariff news is not classified as tariff news.
Hit by a playwall.
If only Trump was elected during covid and declared tariffs then. /s
