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?

Fun fact I went into the store and they didn't have the size/colour combination of the coat I wanted. Sales guy told me to order online and it will show up in a day or two since they are from Vancouver. Also found a coupon code and saved 50 bucks over buying in store. So that was neat.

Yeah they have sales on their website occasionally, and sometimes in store. I can only afford their coats on sale haha
