If you hate this government, you should check out every single government before this.

You should check out !goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca to buy from companies that do not make political contributions.

As another American rock the fuck on Canadians. Iโ€™ve been trying to buy more to help even out that trade balance but my state already does 3:1 imports but gotta pump those numbers up.

Also you got any Canadian crack maple syrup recommendations perchance. Cause Iโ€™m getting low and need my pancake fix, maple butter too cause if Iโ€™m going for a heart attack I go for gold.

Our syrup ain't just crack! It's fentanyl!

Change your tax withholding this year. Just put the extra money in a Canadian bond and wait for them to raise a stink

Whatever the version of an RRSP is in the states, usually you can change your investment strategy in it even if it doesn't hold individual securities. Most would have an international investments strategy that keeps your money out of the USA.

Sometimes I can. When I have the option to get a European product from one of our local grocery stores โ€” and there are some! I much prefer the imports. I feel like theyโ€™re safer these days.
