I’m just saying it’s hypocritical to boycott the US when so much of our daily routine is revolved around their products/services. If you boycott US products, boycott everything not just things you choose to lol. It’s like those religious folks that say they’re religious and get run through by a train.

Ya we can cut out US cold turkey, but to what extent? Lol it’s a just a rabbit hole. This forum is probably hosted by a US company. There’s only so many things we can cut out. The US doesn’t care if we don’t buy from them. Even though I agree we should support local Canadian corporations, the regular consumer looks at price and doesn’t care about where things are made.

This is just lazy all-or-nothing logical fallacy for the sake of being contrarian without an intent of healthy discourse, by presenting the situation of having only two extreme options or outcomes i.e. the idea that if something can't be done completely or perfectly, it shouldn't be done at all otherwise you are a hypocrite.

You oversimplify a complex issue by just assuming two choices, with the intent to rouse direct conflict (hypocrite vs not) rather than shutting down any sort of actual discussion (what are things that make a larger impact than others when it comes to not choosing to buy US).

This is a discussion forum, maybe you are better off going to X.
