Didn’t have many subscriptions (all US are cancelled) and was mostly eating Canadian food already. Swapping now what else is left … what now? I am so mad at the USA I need something else to take my anger out on.

    I went through my apps too. I am already careful with what I use and always check what data they collect. I even went so far and left shit reviews on uber, Netflix, Disney, anmazon, prime video, prime music etc. Apps. Anything that I could think of and had downloaded and subscribed to at some point. This gets me into a whole new level of petty. Yeah maybe I start writing politicians to get of Twitter (oh I should leave a shit review on that one too!) and grocery stores. I did send London Drugs a ton of suggestions for products already. 😬

      Awesome!

      Maybe it’s letter writing time? I bet there are a lot of stores in your area that could use the moral.support of a letter urging them to reduce their American goods, flag non American ones etc.

      Or, if you don’t mins social media, joining bluesky (twitter alternative) or whatever that instagram alternative is? (More users => more growth => meaningful competitor.)

        Yeah I am thinking letters but I am not a fan of writing. I am on Mastodon which is definitely not US. And here, Lemmy isn’t either.

          Totally fair! As much as we hate AI, maybe you could use deepseek or somesuch to get the majority of the letter written and then edit and send as necessary? Honestly though, even a couple lines to a corporate contact email address etc works!

              I realized last night, while not as anti US, watching stuff on CBC Gem probably helps Canadians in the television industry etc.

              That’s right, watching TV as an act of resistance!
