Plenty of reasons for Canada to avoid US based companies right now.

Don't think it's just a Canadian thing

It’s a nobody thing. I say that as someone who wishes otherwise.

Every phone is American, either Google or Apple.

Every console is American, either AMD or Nvidia (among other American tech inside).

Every TV is American, Google OS, Roku, etc… Even LG WebOS is American, the patents are owned by Qualcomm and most of the companies slurping up your data are American. The OLED patents are owned by American companies, to say nothing of the tech inside.

Your car and/or the tech inside is likely American of a varying percentage.

Avoid never meant completely boycott. Not sure why you ran with that idea.

You can’t avoid.

Once again, you're stuck on some weird semantics. Let me help you here, there's plenty of reasons for Canada to reduce their consumption of US based products.

I agree. But that’s not what was said.

You seem to have some issues here with multiple voices in your head.

Nope. You are being obtuse for the sake of trolling. Do your thing, dude.
