I'm still Buying Canadian whenever possible - Canada first, anywhere but US second.
And the products that I buy regularly and have switched, I won't be switching back. Those include soup, toilet paper, dog food, soft drinks, fruits and veggies. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Why i won't be cross-border shopping from Manitoba to North Dakota anytime soon. The media says the people there miss Canadians shopping - boo hoo. They already voted about 66% for tRump, and now their approval has gone up even more?
They'll see me on the 12th of Never.

This is huge. Iceland is beautiful for a holiday.
Airlines are switching from US cities to more flights within Canada or to other overseas tourist destinations.
Thousands of Canadians vacation in Mexico already; Iceland is only an hour further by plane. www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/202...

If you're worried about having an authoritarian government (that's eroding the rights of women, POC, 2SLGBTQ persons and disappearing its own citizens) having your biodata on record well... oh just fuck off for even thinking of going there. Truly. 🖕🏼

Donating to a relief fund for Hurricane Melissa? Avoid
Samaritan's Purse. It's run by Billy Grahams' son Franklin, and it's evangelical and homophobic. The primary goal is proselytization; the aid is the 'carrot'.

I donated to Doctors Without Borders.

It's Banned Books Week, so I'm looking at the Eleanor Roosevelt banned book awards winners.
This cute picture book for ages 4-8 is receiving an award. And it's in my public library, so I'm gonna go read it, even without kids.
