Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

Not much changed for me personally, I already mostly buy local.

Btw if you really want to hurt america see if you can modify your rrsp/resp/tfsa/<other 4 letter acronym> to exclude American companies (and O&G while your at it). It's hard and probably not good from a purely financial perspective, but I think it has a lot more impact.

Already did it! And boy, was I glad I had when Trump started doing things.

VEU is one example ETF on the TSX.

I'm disabled. Also petition your government leaders to divest CPP from American companies and investment firms.
