    Canada Dry isn’t Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.

    As an ashamed American, I really dig the solidarity and support you guys are showing with your alternative products and boycott lists!

    As someone in the US, I will be avoiding large US brands as much as possible as well. All the pain that nazi cockgoblin has and is going to cause makes me really sad.

    Kicking Horse Coffee is majority owned by Lavazza, an Italian company. Not Canadian, but still better to support than Tim Hortons.

    as an aussie, this is all so fucked up… we have basically nothing here that’s canadian, but i’m certainly switching all my shopping and services away from US brands in solidarity (RIP vegemite :p)

    global solidarity against the fucking bully

    at the very least, anyone could be next… but even without that somewhat selfish take, canadians don’t deserve any of this

      I wish more international trade was based on who shared our values, vs. what’s cheaper. Aussies, Canadians and Kiwis all share values far more than Canadians do with Americans, despite the close proximity and shared culture.

      I think Canada imports some Aussie and Kiwi products, like some wines, some fancy honeys, etc. But, unfortunately, both Canada and Australia are mainly resource-based economies these days, and export a lot of raw resources to be processed into goods in other countries.

    Earth’s Own is Canadian and makes pretty good oat milk.

    I’ve already switched to them for a while since it’s more affordable than other coffee creamers.

      Their Batista oat milk is great too, I legit prefer oat milk to dairy for most things, tastes better in coffee drinks imo.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      And even if a company’s HQ is in America, their shareholders are probably all over. Personally I’ll only worry about the physical supply chain.

      Last I checked, Tim Horton’s is owned by Restaurant Brands International, which came to be as a merger between Tim Horton’s and Burger King. They are headquartered in Toronto. Their majority shareholder is a Brazilian investment company though.

    I will always check the origin of a product. EU, USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are always a go. Now I will look a bit closer and make an effort to avoid the shithole red states.

      Timmie’s is owned by Restaurant Brands International, who owns Popeye’s and Burger King. They’re Brazilian now.
