Donald wants us isolated, each country standing up to a giant by ourselves. And for some products, there aren’t going to be affordable Canadian substitutes. But, if we look around the globe, maybe there are more?
I couldn’t help but think this after so many kind folks pointed me to Deezer and other Tidal alternatives that aren’t Canadian but at least aren’t American owned. Personally, my preferences are Canada first, anywhere else non American second, and then ugh… I imagine others feel similar?
If you look for made in America or American brands I think you will have an easier time avoiding them
Outside of America, I don’t think a lot of things come with a made in America sticker and brands are a little tricky.
If that’s rhe best there is, sure. But especially for digital services some sort of community would be useful. Think non American game studios, browser alternatives (I guess duck duck go might be a decent option?) etc. Heck, even publishing companies etc.
The more of the world that’s able to hit back the better off we all are.

Browsers are hard to get away from American, if you’re on Linux then Gnome Web and Falkoner are steps away from main browsers but they are Safari and Chrome respectively
Games I would look to open source/free because it’s hard to avoid Valve in that space
