I almost broke down and bought an American made sling bag recently, just couldn't find anything made in Canada that interested me. That would've been my first American purchases in years. I don't know what the hell I was thinking but after doing some more research I was able to find a cool one made in Ukraine, much happier to support them instead. Anything but the US
Oh i know. I just wanted to put it into the universe really. I'm not in much of a position to try and blow it up myself. More like hopefully some bored but patriotic person out there will run with it. I plan to make that a bit clearer on the site too
They've always been the sycophant looking for a greenback hand-out. That's why American (now known as Lesser Canadian) rich people own like 99% of every oil company doing business in Alberta. Really-really. They're the least Canadian canadians, even beating Quebec for that. Hell, Minnesotans are more Canadian than Albertans.
The only thing I have a hard time finding now is Canadian fruit. It's early for apples but even pears and peaches all seem to be from the US lately. I've been grabbing what ever is available from South America.
Fruits and veg have been tough. I haven't had strawberries in so long, but oh well. We've recently been getting BC peaches and blueberries, that's been nice. And eating more mango, which is almost always from Mexico.
On the veg side, things are often listed as "can/usa" or "mex/usa" so it's hard to know really how much of that is from USA.
Hope Canadians take this to heart. Cause some early tourism numbers had been showing an uptick in travel to America. Though why you'd risk a border crossing right now i certainly don't know.
Come on, do a bit better. I'm sure there's a valid opinion in there, but do you care enough to elaborate and explain it? Lots of positions of Carney I'm not a fan of, but might be interesting to hear an articulate argument...

Right? I thought we were supposed to keep our elbows up, not wave it up and down like chicken.

Sling bag, like a shoulder/bike-messanger bag?

I'm proposing adding a national drive to learn French in protest. Calling it "La Riposte" as in "The Counterattack"
Put together an informational site here and will keep developing if there's any interest.

You're going to have to get it attention on social media and reddit (puke) if you want it to go anywhere.

Never stopped the first wave. This shit is multi-generational as far as I'm concerned.

There's always open source at the home level and for people that have a say in small businesses.

You guys have to do the inverted products again to make it more clear for folks not in the know.

Why? Carney the conservative clown will just put his elbows down the next opportunity he has with Donald Jackass Dump.
LOVE the angry con dogs defending this clown. Keep it up, just like your elbows! 🤣
