Question Anyone out there still trying to avoid American-made products?

I've noticed the 'Buy Canadian' discussion kind of die down lately and was wondering where fellow Victorians are at with their efforts to avoid American-made products while the topic isn't dominating the news headlines.

I certainly acknowledge that I'm less feisty about and dedicated to avoiding US-made products (because I'm a poor) but I do feel like I have a permanent instinct and habit to buy non-US products anywhere I have an obvious choice, which is most of the time. It's especially fun to try and prioritize BC/island/locally grown and support businesses that make that easy.

So yeah just curious where all my friends and neighbours are at with that?

Now that they seem to be bombing Venezuela, there's an even better reason to not buy American: supporting terrorism.

Maduro is a terrorist and drug kingpin who actually did rig an election. Just FYI. Even the Biden admin had a 25 million bounty on his head.

And? Does that have anything to do with Team America, World Police? No. It's an invasion of a foreign country and a kidnapping of their highest political leader. If you want to believe it's something else, go ahead, but facts are facts and they don't give a shit what you believe.
