People are literally giving up staples like broccoli to avoid American products (sh.itjust.works)

I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.

I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.

Unfortunately, my community is among the ones that needs to start feeling the consequences of our bullshit. That retired woodworker, mechanic, etc are all wearing MAGA hats. I live in the cousin-fuckingly deep south - 99% of my dipshit neighbors are the part of what that fucking traitor is running our country into the ground right now.

The retired woodworker here needs to have his shop burned to the ground.

...anyway, I know of an Asian market and a Mexican market not crazy far from where I live. I'd be willing to bet I can find stuff that's comparable to 90% of what I'm already purchasing at those types of stores. The other big ones are pharmacy and gas as far as daily spending goes... no idea what non-US options there'd be for that.

But yea I might be in kind of a weird place with specifically not wanting to support my local shops, but fuck these rednecks. I don't want them getting a cent more of my money than is absolutely necessary.

I doubt there's jack shit I can do to support Canadian supply chains from here, but I can at lreast try to pull out of the US ones as much as possible.
