    Yes definitely still boycotting in the hopes that supply chains will change and Canada will never again be as integrated with the USA as it once was.

    American here. I seriously fricking hope that you guys haven’t given up the boycott yet. Money is the only language my fucking hellish government speaks. If you’re worried about those of us on the bottom, we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. We’ll live. Just keep up the pressure.

    Moving to linux, 3/5 done. Jordan toothpaste. Meira ketchup. Looking for new favourite jeans. Going to degoogle. Switched fast food chains or rather going to non fast food altogether. Market brand cola. Soda machine, co2 and concentrates not made on stolen land. LV shaving cream. Planning to switch razor blade, electric toothbrushes and buy 3rd party parts until the switch. Changed remote desktop software. European hosting. I don’t think I have need for an American booze bottle ever again. Much more that I forget now. Bit by bit finding the alternatives.

    Still going with it. I would say my spending on US products/services and use of US platforms is down probably 90%-95% from what it was 18 months ago.

    Ask all the American tourism industry types who whine about the loss of Canadian visitors if anybody’s still doing the boycott. Ask Jack Daniels and Jim Beam if Canadians are still doing the boycott.

    Yes. People are still doing the boycott, and in the case of Canada I think we may be watching a cultural shift appear in real time. In 25 years when people think “vacation” in Canada they’ll either think “Canada” or they’ll think literally anywhere else in the world other than the USA.

    It is truly fun to behold.

    For stuff that I cannot avoid, I have been doing a good job patiently waiting to buy them second hand. Plus it’s cheaper and better on the environment.

    Canada here. Still avoiding American produce in the grocery store if possible. I’ve missed citrus fruit, but some Moroccan oranges showed up last week. Mexico is our main supplier these days.

      I spend 1-3 minutes to look for the company address. US address? Let’s check the next one. Their fine prints won’t stop me!

        You mean like if it’s a product of Mexico or Morroco, but the company is still USA owned?

          FUCK yes!

          If an American company is making “product of <country>” what’s happening is that the Americans are exploiting the labour of <country> while rolling in the profits in the USA.

          Fuck American companies. No matter where they’re exploiting their labour.

          Yep, no money to US billionaires means avoiding all US owned companies, no matter how high up. I dont care if its assembled in Canada, if the profits go to the US… Nope.

            I learned Equifruit, the fair trade banana company you see at Costco and Sobeys, is Canadian owned

    Canadian here: 100%!

    I’ve gotten it down to just google products (youtube and android), but will be replacing them as soon as I find the means to do so. Once that’s done, there will be nothing left in my life that’s US, not even entertainment.

    This will continue indefinitely, too ♡
