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 think every bit of thought people put into their purchasing choices is a good thing.

    If you can find suitable Canadian replacements to American products, and products from American owned or funded businesses, without going broke, all the power to you. But don’t think that if you haven’t been able to change all of it that you failed. Each person doing what the can adds up. Encourage people to do it to whatever level they can, suggest Canadian alternatives you use or become aware of.
