Montreal but also lived in Toronto for four years. It's red blinkers everywhere, annoying as heck.

Not that many trucks, I guess. Are we talking about trucks only? I might be wrong then. Mostly crossover SUVs.

No it's not. I see red turning indicators waaay more often than yellow ones.

You did the right thing.

Liberal means pro capitalist liberty. Nothing about personal freedom, equity and social safety nets in that.

Most ships can actually go up the St Lawrence to the port of Montreal easily, and even further on the seaway.

How can I provide you a list of local products specific to your area? I live in the more French part of Montreal, Le Plateau, and everything is full of products from France and Quebec. Highly irrelevant to what you likely have in say Toronto.

I used to live in the Junction and would frequent three non-galen stores in the area (a local butcher, Sweet Potato and Stari Grad) and never encountered either the listed US or Canadian brands, unless I had to go to the no frills in the area for cheap TP.

This list is simply stupid. It's an infatuation with big consumer brands and outdated products. Very typical of North America.

Probably mostly just kiełbasa, twaróg and kapusta. A good diet.

Edit: a "t"

This list is the equivalent of French's "proudly made in Canada" Ketchup response to the Heinz boycott from a couple years back when they've decided to close their Ontario factory. French's still being just another US company, that did not close it's Canadian plants at the time.

Also it's full of shit products and seems to push galen's stuff mostly, when there's so many smaller, local alternatives.

Many American brands I've never even heard of. And Nestlé is Swiss, not from the US.

Last I checked, Tim Horton's is owned by Restaurant Brands International, which came to be as a merger between Tim Horton's and Burger King. They are headquartered in Toronto. Their majority shareholder is a Brazilian investment company though.

Looks pretty basic to me!

This guy is clearly snooping the downvoters as an instance admin and retaliating against them. Wouldn't even have noticed if I didn't stumble onto the modlog in Voyager by accident.

I might be of course wrong in my assumption. But I don't remember ever interacting with anyone from that instance, I'm not subscribed to those communities and the dates correlate.
