Saw this over on the other site. Seems like a fantastic idea.

I'm going to be honest, this conveys support in the eyes of Americans. You can't use iconography to disparage them they just recognize shapes and colors and think you are cheering.

I love that the picture shows Home Depot. A company with the track record of donating to republicans.

Apparently Rona is also American. Peavy is going out of business. I wish there was a better hardware store than Canadian Tire around me.

Home hardware is fantastic. They even have a "home supply" brand in many places that sells building supplies.

Rona is Canadian. HQ in Quebec.

Rona is owned by a US private equity firm. It was Canadian, but not for years now.

Good use of graffiti frankly, especially when contrasted with most of the other graffiti we've been seeing.
