Only in Canada....
For some reason Canadian retailers and suppliers seem to have a special affinity for refusing to take our money.
To the extent that we often go directly to a US supplier because even after duty, taxes, and brokerage it's just easier.
Plus the American company actually sells what we want.
(Insert rant about so-called "free trade")
Just this week I was idly looking at using AWS as a home for some decidedly small Web sites and ancillary items.
It would represent significant overkill, but at first glance would be cheaper, and more ïmportantly get me away from the latest hosting disappointment.
As much as I dislike Amazon's business and labour practices I keep returning to them specifically because they always greet me with "Hell yes we'll take your money! How can we make it easier?"
