I've already cut ties with Walmart, and will be drastically diverting purchases away from Amazon whenever possible.
Once you get it in your mind that "yeah, I'm not supporting Nazis", it's really easy to reject anything and everything American.
And for anything that isn't made in Canada or by a Canadian company, I'm happy to support our allies from around the world, too.
I've got some Amazon gift card balance on my account from Christmas. I'm not sure if it would be better to spend that (which would mean buying from Amazon) or to leave it (which would mean letting Amazon keep my money.)
Maybe buy some groceries and donate them to a food bank to get rid of it? Then at least someone in need gets something.
