Yes totally on it and won’t go back using them again. Degoogled, deleted all US based social media, Moved from those fedi instance that uses US hosting provider, Still blocking ads, Still pirate stuff, and stopped buying stuff that i know are from US
Yes definitely still boycotting in the hopes that supply chains will change and Canada will never again be as integrated with the USA as it once was.
Yep, boycotting everything that is from the Yanks or the Zionists
Yup
American here. I seriously fricking hope that you guys haven’t given up the boycott yet. Money is the only language my fucking hellish government speaks. If you’re worried about those of us on the bottom, we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. We’ll live. Just keep up the pressure.
boycotting the us became the normal life for me
Well, the stuff I replaced the American stuff with is just better.
Canadian here. As much as possible.
Ask all the American tourism industry types who whine about the loss of Canadian visitors if anybody’s still doing the boycott. Ask Jack Daniels and Jim Beam if Canadians are still doing the boycott.
Yes. People are still doing the boycott, and in the case of Canada I think we may be watching a cultural shift appear in real time. In 25 years when people think “vacation” in Canada they’ll either think “Canada” or they’ll think literally anywhere else in the world other than the USA.
It is truly fun to behold.
Eu here, doing my part.
Def doing so. I stopped using US-owned social media altogether, and no longer buy American products. Friends whom I know also stopped investing in the US and moved to European ESGs and SRIs.
Yep, many are divesting in USA companies, and bringing their money to the EU.
Yup, and to avoid another US 2.0, it’s advisable to invest in worker-owned co-operatives, into independent, investigative journalism, and pro-democratic, antifascist movements. Be critical of algorithms that foster polarisation and right-wing sentiment.
More democracy means better business, better labour, better wellbeing environments. Social wellbeing pays off greatly.
Exactly. Get a subscription on a good newspaper, it helps protect independent journalism. Become a party member, and make sure to vote. Naturally, that is not reeeeally a US boycott, but this is the right time to adjust your personal strategy.
Yup. I can recommend the Jacobin, Follow the Money, Die Tageszeitung (German), and De Correspondent (Dutch).
Moving to linux, 3/5 done. Jordan toothpaste. Meira ketchup. Looking for new favourite jeans. Going to degoogle. Switched fast food chains or rather going to non fast food altogether. Market brand cola. Soda machine, co2 and concentrates not made on stolen land. LV shaving cream. Planning to switch razor blade, electric toothbrushes and buy 3rd party parts until the switch. Changed remote desktop software. European hosting. I don’t think I have need for an American booze bottle ever again. Much more that I forget now. Bit by bit finding the alternatives.
Canada here. Still avoiding American produce in the grocery store if possible. I’ve missed citrus fruit, but some Moroccan oranges showed up last week. Mexico is our main supplier these days.
I spend 1-3 minutes to look for the company address. US address? Let’s check the next one. Their fine prints won’t stop me!
You mean like if it’s a product of Mexico or Morroco, but the company is still USA owned?
FUCK yes!
If an American company is making “product of <country>” what’s happening is that the Americans are exploiting the labour of <country> while rolling in the profits in the USA.
Fuck American companies. No matter where they’re exploiting their labour.
Yep, no money to US billionaires means avoiding all US owned companies, no matter how high up. I dont care if its assembled in Canada, if the profits go to the US… Nope.
I learned Equifruit, the fair trade banana company you see at Costco and Sobeys, is Canadian owned
Norway checking in. Doing my best. About to be 100% free from Google. No Amazon… no Microsoft… no Apple… For the most part I buy no American products either. Think everything is going great 🙂👍
No amazon in norway isnt hard tho^^ norwegians should try no coke and tesla.
Sorry not trying to shit on you, just disapointed in many others here, no microsoft google and amazon is a great thing, getting rid of facebook dependency here would also be nice.
I totally agree with you. Tesla sales in Norway is a disapointment. We have a couple of good coke alternatives though - if only more people could buy those… (they’re half the price, even).
Sadly I deleted facebook many years ago. Would love to delete it now instead 😉
Again i didn’t mean you personally, but love to hear someone else doesn’t have facebook in this country ^^
Still going with it. I would say my spending on US products/services and use of US platforms is down probably 90%-95% from what it was 18 months ago.
