Does anyone know the existence of a list of Red State products/companies to boycott ?

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

Recently, I was checking out alternatives and I think there were toilet paper products made in Canada. Im willing to spend extra just to help both Canada and us out. I think the good guys are on the same side as Canada.

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.
