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.
Well it also wouldn't surprise me if the stores stop stocking produce from there.
Wait, what do you mean YOPLAIT?!? That brand still exists? I remember seeing it in Spain during the early 90s and then disappearing there. I thought it was a Spanish brand since I haven't seen it outside that country. TIL.
Yoplait was the gourmet stuff we couldn't afford back in the 80's
It's still here in Canada.
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.
