    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?

          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

          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.
