I'm currently switching all my computing/cloud stuff over to Canadian and/or EU providers. I'm going to move my domains to Easy DNS and try out a VPS from LunaNode.

I was about to say there's TunnelBear VPN, but, just found out they've been acquired by McAfee , so boo.

I had to buy moisturizer. I saw two on the shelf. Flipped the labels, one was made in USA, the other made Canada. I picked the latter. That was it.
Get Cutibase if you can find it. Made in Quebec, works really well, scent-free.
I bought Cetaphil. Would look into Cutibase next time around.
Anyone have suggestions for Canadian cat food that isn't overpriced? I've got like 15 cats so I go through a lot in a month.
Most Purina products are at least produced and manufactured in Canada. I have been using the beyond line of products and my cats love it.
Sadly, it is a mega agro corp.
I guess it uses Canadian farms, but Purina is owned by NestlΓ©.
Dammit.
I knew there was a catch.
Huh TIL. I've mainly been feeding them that and the co-op stuff (Which they don't care for so I usually blend them together.)

Most of my groceries are either already made in Canada or imported from Mexico. I didn't have to change much.
It's not a cheap way to shop, I will admit, but it can be done. Canada makes a lot of food, especially here in BC where I live. Beef, pork, sausages, honey, dairy, milk-alternatives, breads, and so much more.
For non-grocery items there are numerous retailers that are Canadian. London Drugs is a great one here in western Canada. Online shopping is a bit harder because Amazon is so hard to replicate, but honestly at that point I just buy from Aliexpress. If I'm going to order cheap crap online I'll just get it from the source instead of sending money to the US.

As someone who isn't a North American... What is a salad kit?
A mix of greens in a bag, often with a pouch of dressing and a bag of nuts tossed in as well.
I'm American:(
Your in a prime position to sabotage then!
I work at a Walmart. I can fart on stuff

I thought looking at the list online would be annoying until I realized you can just look at the food labels. So itβs easy. Had to buy cabbage instead of lettuce last time I was at the store. Thatβs about it.

Yeah it's going well. I already knew in November that Trump was going to fuck up the economy one way or another, so I bought a handful of bigger ticket stuff from the states at that time for Black Friday.
The main food staple I've had to change so far is baby carrots, I usually get the California organic ones in bulk at Costco. I just have to make a separate trip to my smaller local grocer for substitutes.
Stupid easy...
