Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

"As I see it, the Canadians are a very proud people, and they are very offended this time," Gerston said.

We're not "very offended" you pusillanimous putz. We're tired of your shit.

as Canadian grocers adopt measures to favor locally produced products.

Where is this happening? Our local foodbasics constantly features American produce both in their flyer and in the store. Their packaged food will often have a maple leaf, but the country of origin is mostly from the States.

Hell, out of like 5 different type of bagged apples, only one has been Canadian over the last month, and it's always the shitty Red Delicious variety. Are you telling me Canada has no apples?

Red delicious is such a disappointing apple

They are, indeed, the USA of apples. Tasteless and an utter disappointment.

Organize your community and talk to your grocers if they're not complying with the national movement to sever ties with American product. Pit the grocers one against the other.

My friends in Ottawa are reporting Made in Canada tags everywhere, including Canadian-sourced produce. My parents in Winnipeg are reporting the same. A friend in Calgary is saying it's surprisingly easy to get non-American products now. I don't know where you are, but it's definitely a growing and widespread movement over most of Canada.
