No travel to the US. Not buying american groceries. Focusing on Canadian foods at grocery store. If we don't have a Canadian or ABA option we do without. If the labeling is ambiguous or doubtful we do without. Won't shop american brands. I go out of my way to skip home depot or lowes for Canadian Tire and Home Hardware. I routinely look up corporate ownership before making purchases. Amazon is dead to me. I switched old habits like dog food. Now i'm buying a Canadian made food from a Canadian owned store. The list goes on.
This is for life. I'm never going back.
This is what we've been aiming for. And I hold a grudge too. I haven't bought a Sony product for well over 20 years, and Samsung is going on 15 now. I've convinced multiple people to abandon Telus because they made an enemy of me about 25 years ago. I'm a crotchety bastard and I stick by my guns.
If the US gets another dollar out of me, it won't be for lack of trying to fuck them.
I thought I was the only one still stubbornly boycotting Sony for the rootkit. I, too, hold a grudge, and I'm looking at Canadian Tire with a new appreciation these days
The rootkit thing absolutely infuriated me. The self-righteous gall of installing that shit with autorun.inf and sending info back sent me right over the edge. To this day, people are still surprised how brazen that was when they look it up.
Elbows up!
You don't need to try and fuck them. They are doing that to themselves with more skill, urgency and depth of consequence than anything we can come up with. Just watch with wonder and amazement as America descends into irrelevance then obscurity.
Ah! Nice to see somebody else on the Sony and Samsung forever boycott. Sony was my first one ever I think. I have a whole (mental) list of companies that won’t see my $$$
We had a big birthday bash (with multiple family members attending) planned for end of November in Las Vegas.
Cancelled it immediately after their election results came in - stupidity doesn't deserve our money.
Routinely lookup company ownership and review product origin/manufacturing details when shopping.
(Also continuing boycott of Loblaws-owned stores, products, etc. - because screw Galin...)
I'm not fully boycotting them, but they are my grocer of last resort. My #1 is a local ethnic grocer with 3 locations. #2 are local bakeries and independants. #3 are sobeys/metro owned and last is Weston.
I'm blessed with options.
