Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

It's generally going well. I already did this boycott once before during Trump 1.0, so I know what do look for.

It's a bit harder this time around because there are things we need where a Canadian (or at least non-American) alternative doesn't exist. The big one is diapers, as we haven't been able to find anything non-American that also works within our budget and time constraints.

It's unfortunate, but also only temporary. My kids should be out of diapers in a few years, provided the world doesn't end before then.

I'll do some research today to see if they are available where I live, or if they can be made so. Thanks for the tip.

Oh, well that looks promising!

We did it, Lemmy?
