Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I discovered that Smirnoff sold in the EU is American. I'm sure there are others.
I can confidently say I can't remember the last time I bought American alcohol but also that number is actually very low. Way less than one dollar per person per quarter.
A British company that manufactures in various countries.
My Canadian liquor store told me it was Canadian.
This is a reminder to me to fact check.
Smirnoff is currently manufactured in the following countries:
The question isn't where it is manufactured. It's where the money flows on sale.
For example "Canadian" French's ketchup is made with tomatoes sourced in Canada. But the money flows to McCormick's, an American company.
pennies for a tomato while the dollars go to suits. Boycott
Yep. No maple-washing on my watch.
Geez. Any good sites out there to track this? Hard to navigate the tendrils...
I've heard of apps like Buy Canadian or Buy Beaver but can't vouch for any since where I live this is largely irrelevant. What I specifically can't vouch for is whether they track ownership (i.e. where the money flows) or only material sourcing (i.e. where the labour gets exploited).
Yep, that's why we switched to Kozlik's mustard and I now make my own ketchup. Etc or et el or whatever
And as for a vodka, I'll switch to a local distillery. I don't drink enough to worry about the slightly higher price. Should have done that in the first place.
Or at the very least a distillery that isn't owned by Americans, yes.
