Every damned spreadsheet should have the header locked so that you can quickly know what you are looking at after row 25. You can’t change my mind.
Disappointed to not see Tesla on the list. Target the oligarchs behind this.
I want to apologize to you guys. I’m sorry you’re forced to suffer for my country’s stupidity voting in this dipshit. You don’t deserve this.
I do love that your government is clapping back against the bully, because only terrible things follow when you appease fascists.
But it’s regular Canadians getting squeezed in the middle as a consequence. For both our sakes I hope this ends soon
I feel the same way. On the one hand, there’s nobody else I’d rather have slap sense into us than one of our closest allies. But average Canadians don’t deserve to be wrapped up in our godawful drama. Here’s hoping they can hit us hard enough to get back on the right track sooner rather than later.
I appreciate the sentiment, but please gather together with your friends and neighbors and fix your country’s shit.
No, I don’t have a step-by-step plan to give you, it’s your country, you should know better than me what’s effective where you live.
Fuck me thats a long list. Here’s a summary in the order I found them. Probably missed a few, I’m on mobile and it’s Sunday…
- Meat.
- Eggs.
- Dairy products.
- Various fruit+veg.
- Beans.
- Nuts.
- Coffee.
- Tea.
- Various seasonings (vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, etc)
- Grain.
- Cooking oils.
- Sugar.
- Chocolate.
- Pasta.
- Alcohol. (wine+spirits)
- Tobacco.
- Sand.
- Perfume/Beauty products.
- Cleaning products.
- Appliances.
- Building materials.
- Misc housewares.
- Clothing.
- Linens (sheets, towels, drapery, curtains, etc)
- Diamonds.
- Silver.
- Platinum. (I didn’t see gold oddly, just gold plated silver)
- Jewelry.
- Hand/power tools.
- Industrial equipment/machinery.
- Firearms.
- Explosives.
- Light fittings/bulbs.
Video game consoles.- Casino game consoles
- Playing Cards.
- Paintings.
- Various fruit+veg.
Stick with local produce. We grow a lot in Canada.
- Beans.
Nearly all the beans/legumes on store shelves are from Canada.
- Nuts.
This one is difficult, especially almonds. We do have a thriving seed industry: hemp, flax, etc.
- Coffee.
What coffee comes from the USA?? Canadian roasters are everywhere and they import beans from South America.
- Tea.
Same as above, get your tea from Japan, China, India, etc.
- Various seasonings (vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, etc)
Seasoning blends are very often from the states, but look for local blends. Or get single spices and make your own! Or go ethnic, and get spices from Asia, Mexico, etc.
- Grain.
Canada grows wheat, oats, wild rice, barley, rye, etc. No issues here. Get Asian rice if your worried about rice.
- Cooking oils.
We produce a lot of cooking oil in Canada. For olive oil (not really a cooking oil), go with Italian.
- Sugar.
China, Brazil, and India produce more than the US. We can get it from them.
- Chocolate.
Go with Swiss chocolate.
- Pasta.
Plenty of made in Canada pasta. Go with Italian if you want another option.
With the exception of citrus, some processed junk food, and a few odds and ends, Canada is quite food secure.
If animal products are a concern, stop eating them. Make tarrifs your excuse to go plant-based this year 👍
Just to note that American rice tends to have high levels of heavy metals. So even without tariffs you shouldn’t be buying American rice.
What firearms does the US get from Canada?
Apparently we export several billions of dollars worth of munitions a supplies to the US and various other countries. Lots of embarrassingly authoritarian countries on the list.
That seems less targeted than I had expected.
It’s almost entirely things that we also make ourselves, or can get from other, more friendly countries.
Or things that we can comfortably do without for an extended time (playing cards and jewelry, for example)
