Finally found (what looks like) a good Canadian equivalent to Ziploc freezer bags! I was looking for Glad, which I gather are made in Canada but seems to be US-owned.
Anyway, Costco has Titan brand bags, which appear similar to Ziploc.
They are made in Canada, and the company is 🇨🇦.

Just noticed that Purple Air reports and experimental VOC value, although TBH I'm not sure what it represents exactly.

Serious question - did Trump have a stroke? First the stair climbing issues, and now - look at his eyes. One is not opening properly. I mean the dementia has been on display for a while now, but what else happened?

So it'd be interesting to note exactly when PP got his clearance, and what level. Because as potential PM, he'd need COSMIC Top Secret, which is valid for 5 years.
Why? Because a lot can happen from year to year, including becoming compromised by a foreign entity.

No, none of these guys should get a free pass. Yes, they have to be held to higher standards and we have the right to expect more.
However, it's not just that PP is worse. PP *won't* listen and there's *no* chance he will change. Ever.
Who's closer to "good", between the only 2 viable parties?

I'm not sure this is the correct story... In Canada, Scotties is owned by Kruger, not Irving. Irving owns the US rights to the brand only.
![Screenshot of the Scotties Wikipedia page. Text reads :
"Scotties is a facial tissue brand originally owned by the Scott Paper Company, created in 1955.[citation needed]
Kimberly-Clark, owner of the rival Kleenex brand, acquired Scott Paper in 1997. For antitrust reasons Kimberly-Clark was required to divest the Scotties business in the U.S.[1] Kimberly-Clark sold it to Irving Tissue while maintaining control of the Scotties trademark. Kruger Inc. separately acquired Scott's Canadian subsidiary, now known as Kruger Products, which sells Scotties tissues there.
The brand is well known in Canada for its sponsorship of the women's curling championship Scotties Tournament of Hearts, often simply called the Scotties."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htsr5glhfpme2devqzl2flhb/bafkreih2hhfkzkbipxzoxyp6v4ebiy76nmnd4m4nwihlodxwbmk4hrrjd4@jpeg)

I'm all for this, but you need to check the labels. The parent company may be American, but many products are actually made elsewhere.
I will avoid Made in USA both for tariff reasons as well as ethical reasons.
Ideally don't support the American companies, but at least see the big picture.
