    Just try. Instead of whining uselessly. A single Canadian made product you enjoy. You don’t have one? Then you are the problem.

    You don’t want people buying big name brands. You say everyone else is stupid. Fucking pull your weight then.

    I’m sitting on the can and I can see ‘true earth’ brand toilet cleaner is made in Canada. They have laundry soap and dish soap too.

    And I know my fancy Lush shampoos and stuff are super local, if you can afford it.

    And just in case laundry detergent isn’t on the tariff list I have Okazu miso chili oil on my counter at all times.

    And Matty Matheson has a brand of kraft dinner that’s pretty dang good and not that much more expensive than KD.

    So what about you? Gonna keep whining about a shitty list or are you gonna post something helpful? If everyone else in this thread did the same thing we’d have something to work with.

      I think their point was “don’t just buy Canadian, but local” which means the unless you live near each other, their recommendations won’t help. This is generally more impactful advice.

      But I appreciate your point that we want to make it easy to avoid American products, to lower the bar so more people do it; so listing national brands makes that much more useful.
