It's generally going well. I already did this boycott once before during Trump 1.0, so I know what do look for.
It's a bit harder this time around because there are things we need where a Canadian (or at least non-American) alternative doesn't exist. The big one is diapers, as we haven't been able to find anything non-American that also works within our budget and time constraints.
It's unfortunate, but also only temporary. My kids should be out of diapers in a few years, provided the world doesn't end before then.
Contact your local store to order https://www.royale.ca/diapers Made in New Brunswick.
Oh, well that looks promising!
We did it, Lemmy?
I'll do some research today to see if they are available where I live, or if they can be made so. Thanks for the tip.
It looks like AliExpress sells some diapers. I have no idea how they compare price-wise, though, and the quality is bound to be somewhat lower.
In China they culturally have an alternate solution, so maybe that's why outsourcing has been slower in the diaper market.
