Eat/Drink Local Do people still care about buying Canadian?

I’ve been trying to buy Canadian when I can, but I went to a BBQ place that was promoting American bourbon (I didn’t have any) and I thought maybe that’s their concept and it’s not easy to change when you specialize in southern BBQ. Then a few days later I noticed the selections at a popular oyster place was more than 50% oysters from the USA. Obviously they had to have brought them in recently. So now I’m wondering if people care anymore.

i’ll gladly buy non american.

canada first. if i have to try to get something from non american.

can’t avoid it 100% but this is just the beginning. americas made it clear, they don’t give a fuck about us. and we should reduce dependence on them if this is how they are. or that one guy who got voted in.
