as an aussie, this is all so fucked up… we have basically nothing here that’s canadian, but i’m certainly switching all my shopping and services away from US brands in solidarity (RIP vegemite :p)
global solidarity against the fucking bully
at the very least, anyone could be next… but even without that somewhat selfish take, canadians don’t deserve any of this
I wish more international trade was based on who shared our values, vs. what’s cheaper. Aussies, Canadians and Kiwis all share values far more than Canadians do with Americans, despite the close proximity and shared culture.
I think Canada imports some Aussie and Kiwi products, like some wines, some fancy honeys, etc. But, unfortunately, both Canada and Australia are mainly resource-based economies these days, and export a lot of raw resources to be processed into goods in other countries.

yeah 100% agree. most of our resources go to china to be processed into the stuff you buy
i’ll buy shit loads of maple syrup and be real happy about it - as expensive as it is here 🥺
Is Vegemite American made? Wow. My SO is Australian and his family would bring him some when they visited. We can only get Marmite here.
This isn’t going to be easy but the orange rapist doesn’t seem to comprehend that we can hit them where they live.
it’s owned by kraft yeah; i remember a big thing about it being sold in the 90s
we also have marmite, and another one that AFAIK is still aussie called promite (just skip the thermite for eating; that’s different)
Crikey that Thermite can be spicy!
well we ain’t here to fuck spiders after all ay
