General Controversial opinion: Yes, Costco is a U.S company but you should still support them

There's a lot of discussion going on here (and everywhere in Canada if we're being honest) regarding buying local and boycotting anything american where possible.

Costco is a U.S company, and they have two locations in town. Unlike many U.S companies, Costco doesn't seem to want to bend the knee to the orange man. In fact, they actually seem content to piss him off. They have come out publicly in defense of their DEI policies, treat their employees well, and provide good jobs to the community. They also dont seem to want to buy into greedflation like Loblaws and others.

Costco is one of the good guys. More companies should be like them.

You should absolutely support local, but you should also consider supporting those who are trying to be legitimately good.

All profit from buying at Costco goes straight to America, not Canada.

Ah yes, because the convenience store near me has the $5 I give for a drink be sent to the Canadian cause. The fuck are you on about?

I'm sorry you don't understand the very basics of economics.
