Canada

I appreciate the sentiment, but please gather together with your friends and neighbors and fix your country's shit.

No, I don't have a step-by-step plan to give you, it's your country, you should know better than me what's effective where you live.

I feel the same way. On the one hand, there’s nobody else I’d rather have slap sense into us than one of our closest allies. But average Canadians don’t deserve to be wrapped up in our godawful drama. Here’s hoping they can hit us hard enough to get back on the right track sooner rather than later.

• Various fruit+veg.

Stick with local produce. We grow a lot in Canada.

• Beans.

Nearly all the beans/legumes on store shelves are from Canada.

• Nuts.

This one is difficult, especially almonds. We do have a thriving seed industry: hemp, flax, etc.

• Coffee.

What coffee comes from the USA?? Canadian roasters are everywhere and they import beans from South America.

• Tea.

Same as above, get your tea from Japan, China, India, etc.

• Various seasonings (vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, etc)

Seasoning blends are very often from the states, but look for local blends. Or get single spices and make your own! Or go ethnic, and get spices from Asia, Mexico, etc.

• Grain.

Canada grows wheat, oats, wild rice, barley, rye, etc. No issues here. Get Asian rice if your worried about rice.

• Cooking oils.

We produce a lot of cooking oil in Canada. For olive oil (not really a cooking oil), go with Italian.

• Sugar.

China, Brazil, and India produce more than the US. We can get it from them.

• Chocolate.

Go with Swiss chocolate.

• Pasta.

Plenty of made in Canada pasta. Go with Italian if you want another option.

With the exception of citrus, some processed junk food, and a few odds and ends, Canada is quite food secure.

If animal products are a concern, stop eating them. Make tarrifs your excuse to go plant-based this year 👍

While it is an extensive list, none of those are things that we can't get elsewhere, or that we don't already make ourselves.

Or things that we can't do without for a while.

Video game consoles

Seems like this is limited to arcade machines and playing cards.

• Other games, operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by other means of payment, other than automatic bowling alley equipment

• Playing cards

Turkey. Turkey is a big one

I guess I’ll just skip those items

Realizes it’s almost all food

Well shit… at least I don’t need sand anytime soon.

That seems less targeted than I had expected.

Well old Doug the drug dealer did step up.

Hopefully that will be on the second round of teriffs i n 3 weeks?

Those are imported from the Shanghai factory, apparently

These are all digital services. Europe has strong data protection and privacy regulation. The US tech billionaires throwing in their lot with the Trump administration gives them plenty of leverage if push comes to shove.

Oh wonderful I wanted to switch to Deezer anyway. And I use Qwant and Brave already.

One of the worse named plants of all time, thanks Latin.

And that's why we renamed it "Canada oil" aka Canola
