  • 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.

    I challenge anyone who thinks that to try being outside for a week, with one set of clothes, sleeping on benches, and trying to find food supports and shelter without a phone. And then tell us to our face how easy it is to do without drugs.
