I wouldn't read too much into this. I wouldn't read too much into this. A few years ago it was "black businesses", but I doubt anyone was actually basing their purchasing decisions on it. It's just businesses trying to ride the current thing. https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/31/21348990/google-black-owned-businesses-maps-search https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/31/21348990/google-black-own... https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-gave-big-companies-small-business-black-owned-badges-report-2023-4 https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-gave-big-companies-sm...

Huh? You seem to be talking about a USA social phenomenon that happened in USA? You are gravely misunderstanding what is currently happening. Now that the depths of American treachery and bloodthirst have been laid bare, the mood in Canada is similar to January 2022 Ukraine. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/canada/trump-trudeau-canada-51st-state.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c&pvid=99A6345D-DEE0-451F-A465-4870DBF4BC41 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/canada/trump-trudea...

    Don't take my word for it. The explicit stated goal of the USA government is to invade Canada. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/canada/trump-trudeau-canada-51st-state.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c&pvid=99A6345D-DEE0-451F-A465-4870DBF4BC41 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/canada/trump-trudea...

        Putin spent a long time saber rattling before he invaded Ukraine. I guess they shouldn't have been concerned back then because nothing horrible started happening yet?

        In January 2022, Ukraine hadn't yet suffered a full scale invasion. Maybe you need to read what you respond to more carefully? Or brush up on recent history. You seem very confused either way.

I didn't at the time but now with the naked racism of the current administration I've been going back to these kinds of lists.

I live 20 minutes from the Canadian border. We get the best reception from Vancouver radio stations, so we listen to lots of Canadian radio. It's not just businesses. Literally half their radio content is about buy Canada, avoid the US, Trump is bad for Canada, etc. This content is produced by every group: political ads, government PSAs, advertisements, the talkshow hosts, people calling in... My county is very dependent on Canadians driving down to buy American goods and we are getting hit hard. I'm not excited for the local economic effects of this trade war (or anything else about it).
