Congratulations on hitting the 200k milestone! That's an incredible growth from 14k in just a few months - what strategies or investments did you implement to achieve this remarkable success?

[@Chioma-ng8yo]

I'm beyond thrilled to see your progress! From 14k to 200k in such a short time is amazing. Would love to hear about your journey and the key decisions that led to this success.

Hello, how did you achieve such monthly returns? I'm a newbie and I've lost a lot of money investing on my own. Please how do I go about it, the year is almost coming to an end, how can I make profit?

[@NemeremStanley]

As a beginner, it is essential that you have a mentor to help you stay accountable. In my case, Elizabeth Marie Hawley has guided me for months and I highly recommend her. I focus on her. To be honest, I'm almost hesitant to let someone take charge of growing my finances, but I'm so glad I did.

[@Chidozie-md4ok]

I'm desperate to turn my finances around. I've been working three jobs just to pay off debt. Can someone please share contact or information? I need her help.🙏

Do Not rely on foreign corporations. Buy local when possible. If Amazon won't pay a living wage they can move on.

[@jackjackthompson5771]

Nobody buys local electronics. Its all imported. Now we pay higher prices to the Loblaws and Metro monopolies….it’s ridiculous….🤦🏻‍♂️🙄

[@v.j.3029]

I’d sue the union and those who tried to unionize Amazon. If they had watched the news, they would’ve seen Amazon leaving NY when they tried it over there. This was predictable and preventable.

[@georgehantzakos9893]

Thank your union. I am sure they will help you find a new job

[@BeckyJB888]

[@AnnMTL]

It wasnt all Quebec sites that unionized. It was only one site.

[@scribbler60]

These decisions by companies like Amazon are not taken lightly. Yes, the union pressures are undoubtedly a reason. But there's more to it than that. Add in Quebec's high taxes, high Federal taxes, carbon taxes, in addition to Quebec's language laws - all business correspondence must now be conducted exclusively in French, which means paying for translators - and undoubtedly other reasons which haven't been outlined here. The "woe is me, I'm a single mom and everything is terrible" bleating is of zero consequence. No business is going to change its mind because a single mom doesn't like the results.

​@patrickgoulet8170 working at Amazon and Walmart is a minimum wage job. Why do you want it unionized and "ask" for a living wage when anyone without an education can do the work. Start by increasing productivity in Canada, and lower living costs because it doesn't make sense for wages to be $30+ just to keep up with living costs.
