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.

It's generally going well. I already did this boycott once before during Trump 1.0, so I know what do look for.

It's a bit harder this time around because there are things we need where a Canadian (or at least non-American) alternative doesn't exist. The big one is diapers, as we haven't been able to find anything non-American that also works within our budget and time constraints.

It's unfortunate, but also only temporary. My kids should be out of diapers in a few years, provided the world doesn't end before then.

Contact your local store to order https://www.royale.ca/diapers Made in New Brunswick.

I'll do some research today to see if they are available where I live, or if they can be made so. Thanks for the tip.

There are, but they aren't feasible for us to use. We would love to, and even discussed it before our first kid was born, but the realities of our lives make them impractical.

We had a few in diapers at the same time, reusable ones with washable liners are the way to go. It means carrying a container till you get home to handle a dirty diaper, but the cost savings alone meant less working hours.
