Coca Cola is bad because… It’s owned by an American corporation, despite being bottled in Canada?
Why then are we suggested to buy Great Value? Is it because Walmart is an American corporation but it’s bottled in Canada?
I’ve seen this suggestion a few times before this post. Someone help it make sense.
The one product I needed tonight from this list doesn't like it is listed correctly. PC mustard is product of USA. I passed on it and bought French's because it at least uses Canadian mustard seed. And fuck Galen Weston anyway.
You would have a hard time finding mustard that doesn't use Canadian mustard seed...
I work at a pet food manufacturer in Wisconsin, and we sell our products in Canada. We've been fielding lots of questions and feedback contacts from our Canadian customers saying they won't feed our products anymore. I get it, and I'm in full support of anyone who boycotts us. In my department, both of the people I report to are right wing, Trump-voting idiots who didn't think about how this affects us directly.
This makes my job harder, but hit us where it hurts. I will sit back and laugh as the leopards eat their faces. I truly hope the company as a whole survives as is, but I am prepared if we don't. Fuck around and find out.
Canada Dry isn't Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.
If Coke etc are canned in Canada do they get tariffs? The Canadian people deserve better than PC cola.
They shouldn't, one of the goals of tarrifs is to encourage production in-country
I honestly believe this can be a net positive. Lots opportunities internationally. Plenty of natural resources .
These kinds of things bring people together. America doesn’t understand that.
Loblaws will continue to receive none of my money.
Fuck galen. Fuck Presidents choice anything.
They will probably raise their prices AGAIN in times of hardship to make hundred of millions more.
I will not eat their products.
I will eat the rich.
Fairly sure the grocery store cartel will say something like "Due to the tariffs on limited American imported goods. We are forced to raise our prices.
Bonus points if you buy any direct from Mexico foods.
Having refried bean enchiladas for dinner tonight with Costena beans and enchilada sauce actually. I usually go to the local Latino market a few times a month too.
Print this and post it at your local grocery store.
Toothpaste, soap, shampoo, shaving cream and especially razor blades are not food products.
Unless you are a MAGA supporter: in that case surely I have nothing to contribute to your knowledge of the world, so please go ahead.
Interesting… from that list, the only US thing I currently buy is French’s mustard.
However, I’m still trying to figure out how to boycott US produce — Washington apples and Florida oranges, and all the other stuff Loblaw’s stocks even though there are Canadian and International alternatives.
Maybe Loblaw’s (and the local markets) will start providing more local and South American options now….
You'd hope Canada and Mexico start increasing trade. I wonder if freight trucks are allowed to pass through the USA without incurring tariffs? Probably not as it's customs collecting it?
ChatGPT answer
Goods from Mexico that are destined for Canada are generally not subject to U.S. tariffs if they are merely transiting through the United States.
But that’s assuming respecting the law which isn’t a US strong point right now.
There’s shipping on both coasts though, as well as direct flights. Those should be able to avoid US interference.
Well it also wouldn't surprise me if the stores stop stocking produce from there.
Those chips brands are so much better than lays.
Edit: Isn't ms Vickies Canadian too?
Miss Vickies originated as a Canadian brand but was purchased by Frito Lay in the 90's.
Yes they are.
I stopped buying Lay’s when they stopped being Hostess.
