Canada has huge reserves of oil, natural gas, minerals, timber. Americans need that.

Canada doesn’t need anything americans sell

Adobe Photoshop 👉 Use GIMP or Affinity.

Adobe Illustrator 👉 Use Inkscape or Affinity.

Word and Excel 👉 LibreOffice is better. No AI shit and it won’t spy on you.

Microsoft Windows 👉 Use Linux. It’s more secure anyway.

General Motors, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Tesla 👉 We don’t need shitty american cars. Buy Hyundai, Toyotas, Honda, Volkswagen.

Apple iPhone 👉 Buy a Samsung

Starbucks Coffee 👉 Just drink local coffee.

McDonalds 👉 Buy from A&W or Harveys

Hyatt Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Four Seasons 👉 Go to Canadian hotels

Amazon 👉 Fuck Jeff Bezos. Buy from your local stores.

Maxwell House Coffee 👉 Balzac’s Coffee Roasters is Canadian

Tourism 👉 Visit Quebec, Banff National Park, Niagara Falls, Vancouver Island, Johnstone Strait, Yoho National Park. Go north to watch beautiful Arctic landscapes. At least you won’t be shot and killed.

Boeing 👉 Buy Airbus. At least they won’t crash.

What do americans sell that Canadians actually need? Nothing. They just sell convenience. Their products are often substandard

    I would add some digital recommendations. While not entirely canadian, does help for leaving usa’s ecosystem.

    gmail/outlook -> protonmail (switzerland) cosmetics and health -> well.ca (canada) private messaging -> signal app (swiss) laundry & dishes: Nellie’s clean (canada)
