I just want to point out that people have been going out of their way to support the biggest Canadian Trumpers while not "buying American".

And lot of these companies ain't very shy about their support on social media.

https://www.instagram.com/irwinfitnesssystems/ - All over Charlie Kirk's crap https://www.instagram.com/biosteelsports/ - The new owner is pretty well known podcast bro conspiracy theorist.

Off the top of my head. Would have to admit that I'm around the fitness stuff a lot and that industry went from mostly scammers to outright nut jobs since COVID.

I personally have been making sure to use Shopify and Shop Pay as much as possible to avoid american companies. As much as i know the CEO is a MAGAt himself, the American alternatives are all just as bad but at least it's an investment in Canadian jobs and the Canadian e-commerce sector.

Ya it sucks the only Canadian ecommerce option ATM is also MAGA but better than a US MAGA company I guess 🤷‍♂️
