I am thankful that my father got me toilet paper I am, I am however having difficulties seeing how Costco’s house brand of toilet paper can have the maple leaf on it. Sure it is made in Canada, by machinery in Canada with a bit of human quality monitoring done by some Canadians but the profits are still going to the US.

Am I going to far with my boycott ideals and only wanting to shop Canadian, at Canadian stores/chains to keep as much as that money in Canada? Do not get me wrong I understand that there are Canadians who depend on US stores for their income and it is not exactly easy to get a job at a Canadian equivalent right now. Am I wrong in wanting all the US retail to F off and be replaced by Canadian things?

I am also aware that Costco is kinda sorta like the good guy saying no to a lot of Trumps stuff.

    I still shop at Costco, but they’re essentially the only American company I do business with at this point. Costco gets a pass for a few reasons:

    1. They pay their Canadian (and American) employees very well. My friend group is mostly engineers and our Costco friend makes the second most.
    2. They have publicly refused to dump their DEI stuff
    3. Galen Weston and friends can eat my ass

    I also exclusively purchase Canadian products inside Canadian warehouses so… it’s less bad.
