See, I disagree with this sentiment. Coming from a Canadian we're seeing products in grocery stores and other places we've simply never seen before because all the american product is rotting on the shelves. For instance, I've seen legit Canadian brands of laundry detergent whereas my whole life all I've ever really seen is tide, bounce the usual corp crap.

This is slowly but surely propping up alternatives in a way that simply wasn't possible before and directly contributing to what is currently small manufacturers, farmers and other retailers into becoming viable alternatives to the usual suspects.

You're not wrong—and yet, nobody decides to do anything. Still.
