boycotting the us became the normal life for me

Def doing so. I stopped using US-owned social media altogether, and no longer buy American products. Friends whom I know also stopped investing in the US and moved to European ESGs and SRIs.

Ask all the American tourism industry types who whine about the loss of Canadian visitors if anybody's still doing the boycott. Ask Jack Daniels and Jim Beam if Canadians are still doing the boycott.

Yes. People are still doing the boycott, and in the case of Canada I think we may be watching a cultural shift appear in real time. In 25 years when people think "vacation" in Canada they'll either think "Canada" or they'll think literally anywhere else in the world other than the USA.

It is truly fun to behold.

Canada here. Still avoiding American produce in the grocery store if possible. I've missed citrus fruit, but some Moroccan oranges showed up last week. Mexico is our main supplier these days.

I think we're getting less loud about it as it becomes less of a boycott and more of a way of life. "Canadian first, but anything but American" is kind of the new normal now.

Norway checking in. Doing my best. About to be 100% free from Google. No Amazon... no Microsoft.. no Apple... For the most part I buy no American products either. Think everything is going great 🙂👍

Greece here, doing my best! nothing change and nothing will. FUCK USA.
I can write as many as fuck usa I want, cause fuck usa. Kids died, and their complain was their fucking oil!

Canadian here: 100%!

I've gotten it down to just google products (youtube and android), but will be replacing them as soon as I find the means to do so. Once that's done, there will be nothing left in my life that's US, not even entertainment.

This will continue indefinitely, too ♡

Canadian here, eh, boycotting them as much as I am able to

American here. I seriously fricking hope that you guys haven't given up the boycott yet. Money is the only language my fucking hellish government speaks. If you're worried about those of us on the bottom, we'll be fine. Don't worry about us. We'll live. Just keep up the pressure.

You can bet I’m still boycotting. But after the big initial sweep (low hanging fruits: email providers, social media, shopping, … this is all continuing), changes are now incremental and/or take a bit longer to implement: reduce dependency on natural gas (eg insulating our house), selling the USA EV… But overall, the dies have been cast. Most crucial now is to convince friends and family, so keep the posts with examples and successes coming.

Canadian here. As much as possible.

I like many here left Reddit and found Lemmy because of the boycott. I dropped all my US streaming services and moved to the high seas. I stopped using my ISPs email because they use exchange. I have officially spent my last cent to apple as I self host things, still looking for off site backup of my Nextcloud but that will come soon enough. I started boycotting the google (minus Youtube) years ago, now I use an app that blocks ads. All of my computing that does not happen on my iPad or iPhone happens on raspberry pi’s. I still take this boycott very seriously.

It's kind of hard to boycott American goods when you live in the country, but I'm trying my best.

Me and my very large extended family are 100% committed to the american boycott for the rest of our lives. I have children in my family who have vowed to never travel to or buy from america. They have lost my family for at least the next 3 generations...

Eu here, doing my part.

Boycotting on most food and household products, also unsubscribe from a lot of online services and sailing the great seas. I even thought my mom how to use steamio to get her to save money on her netflix subscription. I wish there were more alternatives for computers; our Chinese phones are great; I dropped my huawei phone (in a protector case) from a 5 meter roof and not even a scratch.

Definitely doing it. Not travelling to the US until he's dead. Hasn't been perfect, but most food staples I check labels for USA origin, and pick anything else.

I'm currently looking for a Canadian alternative for good quality playing cards that aren't cheap plastic souvenir garbage, I want to give some to a relative that loves Bridge. Might post about it soon.

Yes definitely still boycotting in the hopes that supply chains will change and Canada will never again be as integrated with the USA as it once was.

Yup

canadians are still buying canada

I am doing my best

Absolutely and it's going even stronger!

As a Canadian, I watch Guard the Leaf and it strengthens my resolve every day!

For Life..

Still going with it. I would say my spending on US products/services and use of US platforms is down probably 90%-95% from what it was 18 months ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if the boycott is the reason Canada has been steady economically so far.

Moving to linux, 3/5 done. Jordan toothpaste. Meira ketchup. Looking for new favourite jeans. Going to degoogle. Switched fast food chains or rather going to non fast food altogether. Market brand cola. Soda machine, co2 and concentrates not made on stolen land. LV shaving cream. Planning to switch razor blade, electric toothbrushes and buy 3rd party parts until the switch. Changed remote desktop software. European hosting. I don't think I have need for an American booze bottle ever again. Much more that I forget now. Bit by bit finding the alternatives.

It is less of a true boycott to me as I live in the US that would be hard lol and more of a sustained campaign to convince people not to continue serious relationships with my government until we fix how wildly dangerous shit has become here.

I will keep advocating for moving off dependency on US companies and services because I can see first hand the danger and destruction happening here with my own eyes while the center of this country still clings to the comfort of condescending people like me for being worried....

...as the iceberg that sunk the ship clearly looms over their shoulders with ship paint scraped clear across it.

"Why are you being so alarmist? Nobody can even prove that paint was from our ship yet." - they say with their arms crossed

100% and it's fully normalised now, I've even switched to UK English spelling myself and on all my devices.

My parents' iMacs are running Linux and everyone is drinking local Kola. My focus is now on encouraging friends and family to join in and helping where I can. (mostly the tech stuff) I also like to throw US and Israeli products to the back of the shelves in supermarkets. Even made some 'Buy European' stickers to put over barcodes.

Yep! As much as I can.

As much as possible

Yep, boycotting everything that is from the Yanks or the Zionists

Its stopped being a boycot for me, and a style of life. I still buy far fewer American products than i used to, and always check where its made.

I'm doing my part, but i've also been doing it for a few years now

For stuff that I cannot avoid, I have been doing a good job patiently waiting to buy them second hand. Plus it's cheaper and better on the environment.

Yes - quite successfully, the only thing I haven’t switched over yet is my Office365 to OpenOffice but thanks to some account sharing we’re down to 1/3 of a family subscription.

I boycotted almost everything corporate for years and got to where I physically couldn't boycott any harder, then when that became not enough to satisfy me I moved out of the country entirely. American owners and government have lost at least six figures of my money due to ghoulish behavior, and I'm just one person. 10,000 of me (only 0.002% of the population) lost this way in the last few years is already a billion dollars lost. It certainly must be adding up even if most people are too blind to see their own power
