Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

I pirate most stuff anyway, and the rest I borrow it on physical media at the library, so they're not getting money anyway

I can agree with that, 100%

All the best TV worth watching is already taped in Mississauga. :)

Whos doing the taping?

The last person using BlockBuster.

That's a very good point. I guess it depends on the show.

ALLEGEDLY!

I'm OOTL.

CBC has some great stuff, actually. I consume more from them than anyone else, easily. And then a lot of "American" stuff is produced here too, although you'd have to check.

The streaming platforms are a different matter. Even Gem works like ass for me.

Already cancelled Netflix and Prime.

Crave has plenty of good content and CBC Gem as well. I cancelled Netflix and Disney Plus, I will miss the latter a bit because of What We Do In the Shadows, but I've watched each episode many times so it's not like I haven't seen it. I'm also just trying to read more books in general.
