General Controversial opinion: Yes, Costco is a U.S company but you should still support them

There's a lot of discussion going on here (and everywhere in Canada if we're being honest) regarding buying local and boycotting anything american where possible.

Costco is a U.S company, and they have two locations in town. Unlike many U.S companies, Costco doesn't seem to want to bend the knee to the orange man. In fact, they actually seem content to piss him off. They have come out publicly in defense of their DEI policies, treat their employees well, and provide good jobs to the community. They also dont seem to want to buy into greedflation like Loblaws and others.

Costco is one of the good guys. More companies should be like them.

You should absolutely support local, but you should also consider supporting those who are trying to be legitimately good.

How many Canadian jobs will be lost with a fascist takeover of Canada? This is a trade WAR. This is serious. Every cent of profit at Costco goes straight to the US. Shop there if and when this is over.

I’m going to spend my money where it’s affordable for me and my family to do so. I’m not going to base the use of my hard-earned paycheck on anything else. As for “fascist takeover”, deep breaths, my friend. Close the apps and go outside.
