Canada here! Literally cancelled Netflix last week and talked to my SO about using the money instead to pay for a seedbox lol.

Also trying to do a grocery run without buying any American products is a challenge but doable! Loading up on Dr. Oetkers pizza and Romanian pasta

Are there some good Canadian seed boxes?

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Not sure yet, I'm looking into it! I'll report back if I find a good one though

WTF, I always thought Dr. Oetker was just another brand of some American multinational. It's apparently German.

Yeah lettuce seems the biggest challenge to me. All the heads of iceberg lettuce come from the US. What pisses me off is that under the romaine lettuce it says "Product of USA or Mexico". Which is it? I have no problem buying it if it's from Mexico (they're in the same situation as we are) but not getting it if it's from the US.

I have noticed on some products the grocery story is putting a maple leaf beside the price when it's made in Canada, but it's not universal yet.

You guys get Dr. Oetker over there? Extremely jealous!

Safeway had them on sale for like $3.50 so we loaded up lol

You have Safeway in Canada? Doesn't that defeat the point of not buying American?

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The Canadian stores have been owned by Sobeys since 2013!
