Boycott US

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.

Of course we can and do grow it! We have tons of orchards and farms.
We have so much Canadian lettuce it’s not even hard to avoid US grown. Apples? I only buy Canadian for years because they have flavour.
Do we have some catching up to do? Sure. But it’s driven by demand. We stop buying US and it’ll drive demand for Canadian and others (friendlies) for sure.
We can't grow enough to supply 40million people is what I mean.
We can. We actually throw 40-50% of produce in the landfill because it sat too long. That would be lessened if we only had Canadian choices
Have you got any studies or statistics to back that up?
That should be a challenge. It also would drive more investment and production.
