but luckily we don’t have to win every battle to win the war
True, but Costco also buys products from Canadian producers in large enough volume to keep some of them afloat and hire more employees.
If no one buys from Costco, it will shut down it’s Canadian operations, then you’ll have unemployed Costco workers, some producers may have to lay off their employee, and the producers that need volume purchases from costco to survieve will shut down and many people will be unemployed and drag the economy down more.
With Canadian economy uncertain, only companies with enough confidence, cash and credit will be risk expanding their business. The ones who can, have no reason to do it on a downward market.
If you want to keep them employed, a few entrepeneurs have to take a risk and start businesses until they can grow them to the size of Costco. Who is going to risk their retirement fund, credit and peace of mind to do that with uncertain economy?
Buying Canadian products only at Costco will, hopefully, keep it up and running long enough for it to realize that they need to buy more Canadian products, if it wants to survive.
Granted that this is not an ideal solution but it is the least costly solution.
There’s also this article:

Is there a linkable source where I can reference for the skeptics? It’s going to be much easier to refute whatever they’re saying if I have something solid to prove them wrong
One possible solution for computers is to have your company IT set up a laptop in the US and let you remote in and complete the set up, so you don’t have to bring your laptop across the border.
For the phone, if it’s short enough, you can bring a company phone with none of your personal stuff there and auto forward your personal phone to the company phone. That would mean you won’t have access to your personal phone for the duration.
Some communication tools allow connections to a computer, so if your company lets you set up a laptop remotely like above, you can try connecting them to the laptop, some allow remote pairing, others require the phone to be on the same network and may not work. I think WhatsApp and Facebook have a windows app and browser app. Signal also have a windows app.

Well, US wouldn’t have it’s critical mineral if US abandons Ukraine. Considering China is controlling their Critical Mineral exports, the next viable option is to buy from the country US wants to invade: Canada and Greenland
Don’t they have to take it out of the pouch if they want to use the phone in Hungary?
China could also say only Chinese ships docking at Chinese ports and now there’s a nice middlemen that also adds cost to the price.
The most efficient is probably ship to Mexico or Canada and import through land, but still need middlemen to do them + extortion by Cartels in Mexico.

It’s going to be bad for the US mining companies abroad. They’ll be exposed to locals looking for trouble or money

I WOULD BUY THAT FOR MY CAMPERVAN !!!
Just don’t be miffed if Americans does the same thing and not come to Canada. They would be responding to what we’re doing.
We all should be understanding that most of us didn’t want this to happen and hunker down and wait for better times
I found a link while searching to this site: https://www.canadareviewed.ca/best-cordless-tools-brand-in-canada/ It shows the parent company/brand and the brands they sell
yeah… I wouldn’t consider CPC as an option while he’s around.
The way he acts during the interview he had while eating an apple reminds me of a landlord talking to a commoner in films.
He doesn’t look like he can take any input from anyone and can’t change his mind, even if the evidence is overwhelming.
