      Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

      In 2026, as a Canadian… Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other… The choice is easy. Anything but american.
