I know this has been said before, but I think it needs to said again. We can boycott things like Kellogg’s or whatever American product we want, and those are great ways to do so, but they’re smaller hits.

But to really hit America where it hurts, we need to boycott the following en masse:

1.) Walmart outright boycott. They’ll be pissed when their stores here sit empty and will complain to the orange nut job about it.

2.)Amazon. Full stop. You have prime. Cancel. You use their services? Stop.

3.) Costco. This one is painful for a lot, but will send a major signal to the U.S. They are most likely the best of the 3 companies I’ve mentioned since they treat their employees well and have stood up to Trump. They’re still American and we as a country are still at war with them.

4.) Streaming services: They’ve threatened our national language and they’ve threatened us when we instituted a digital tax. Vote with your wallet. If you have these services, just cancel them. You can find what you need in other ways. Netflix / Apple TV / Prime / HULU / etc - cancelled

Yes it sucks. Yes it’s hard, but those companies need to feel pain. If not they’ll carry on because our money is going to their profit. The shareholders don’t care. Americans are beholden to their shareholders. Make them feel the pain.

We can give up convenience for a bit. Maybe as we give these services up, some Canadians will come in a build out some of these services.

This is an economic war waged by a rapist and an administration that think we don’t deserve to be a country.

Let’s prove them wrong.

Cancel your memberships or don’t renew and divert your money away from them. This is especially true for Costco whose membership fees are a massive part of their income structure.

We don’t keep our independence by feeding the American oligarch machine.

Boycott them!

Yes, I understand that Canadian corps are not much better, but we can at least fight them easier than the U.S. if we need to.

We invented SOAP so this would stop mutilating our babies. All you have to do is USE SOAP. Yet you won't. Because YOU are smegma.
