In an act of solidarity with Québec workers, Cégep Drummond has announced the immediate suspension of all Amazon purchases and subscriptions. Radio-Canada reports that this move comes in response to Amazon’s late-January decision to close its warehouses and delivery centres in Québec and lay off more than 2,000 employees. Drummond directeur général Pierre Leblanc stated that, as a public institution, the cégep has a duty to consume responsibly and to keep the province’s local and regional economy strong. Leblanc additionally invited other institutions to follow suit in leaving Amazon.
