People are literally giving up staples like broccoli to avoid American products (sh.itjust.works)

I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.

I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.

We are auditing literally every purchase. Netflix and Disney are banned. X and meta are blocked at the router. I'm actively looking for Canadian cloud providers for hosting. I've never seen such a thorough, deserved repudiation of America, long past overdue IMO.

Yeah, I have only been able to find American spinach so no spinach for me.

I just bought an electric snow shovel for this winter... no more uncomfortable steps to shovel... then Trump started his shit, noticed it was Murican brand and returned it unopened

Right on! Someone else in the family has been doing the grocery shopping, and my list is always titled, "Anything but American. If there's no equivalent, Canadian or otherwise, don't get it!". Today I'm making ALL CANADIAN stew again! Had it the other day, some of the best stew I've made!🍁💪

Yeah I have had to cut out Broccoli purchases because in BC they are only in season beginning from June. It has been snowing so they are only available at my stores from California.

Good, Staples is a terrible company. I stopped shopping there years ago.

The broccoli they sell is shit too

Staples Broccoli, notoriously dry and tinny

It's possible that might have been printer toner.
