Gawd I detest them both - always have. Both based in Memphis area.

That boycott hurt Mitch McConnell during the last trade war or so I heard. Hopefully Canada, per Kristya Freeland will be putting out a list. She knows that MAGAs are the culprits.

In the meantime, we should be supporting any Canadian products and companies. Canadian Maple Syrup!

Sorry I don't know anything about it and doubt any sane person would drink that slop. It must be like paint thinner.

4. I did a quick search for products made in red states, but came up empty

Apparently, not much is mfd. in red shithole states. For good reasons: laziness and gross stupidity of many residents, at least that I have experienced.

Georgia Pacific, but I know they pretty much have the market on all paper products that I would buy in place like Costco. Recently, I was checking out alternatives and I think there were toilet paper products made in Canada. I’m willing to spend extra just to help both Canada and us out. I think the good guys are on the same side as Canada.

6. Oh I absolutely would spend more to help Canada out as well!

Walgreens USED to sell bamboo toilet paper, then all of a sudden it disappeared.

Gawd forbid we're not cutting down forests to wipe our asses.

I'll keep hunting.

And we should have a list of things made in Canada too, so that people can find things to buy to help them out.

I don't know what's manufactured in Mexico either, except Johnson Control's crappy car batteries. I bought an Optima mfd in Mexico after Johnson Control bought Optima, unbeknownst to meat the time, and the terminals just crumbled.

I know lots of car parts are now mfd in Mexico, but I don't know specifics or what their quality control is like.

7. I'll be on the lookout for a comprehensive list

In the mean time, I have my Canadian cousins on alert to send me one should it pop up. In the process of emailing one of them he responded “oh, I’ve already been boycotting American products for awhile. 🤣
