Canada

I was already bracing myself to be careful at the grocery store a while back cause I'd been following the story of the US rolling back food and product regulations. It can't be fun to be doing any Kitchen/ Restaurant work right now. Last time out I managed to find all Canadian stuff. Lettuce was the hardest, self contained was all from California. I did find a Canadian made salad kit I stripped for parts, I wish the quality was better but it was okay. I'm not a real power user of lettuce anyway. It's just going to take a bit of adapting.

I also typically buy used name brand clothing and plan to keep going with that and with entertainment I usually use the free services, used stores and thrifts and a bit of yarr matey on the side.

Whoever makes the best quality product against the competition, that's what I buy regardless of where it's made.

Finding a cloud service provider that’s reliable and has good terraform support has been impossible. Best we could do there was switch to another American firm that didn’t seem to be a Trump-supporting sell-out.

Otherwise it’s been pretty easy. But mostly because we already had everything.

As a baseline my focus hasn’t been so much not buying American at all but buying from Canadian owned and operated stores as the primary entry point. So no more Amazon, etc.
