Our news is belatedly catching up with the buy local, boycott US movement. Was thrilled to see this headline here in Canada on the news channel ticker. I was checking everyday and there was a mention ever now and then but nothing about Europe! https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/danish-viking-blood-boiling-danes-boycott-us-goods-119879965

  1. Interesting to hear it from the outside. But yeah, people are really into it. So much so that some of our supermarkets have begun labeling foods as “non-EU” so people can avoid them.

    I think our cultural heterogeneity helps it along – we are pretty good at policing one another. Its become a frequent topic of conversation to hear about what people have replaced of US products (and kind of a running joke).

    For my own sake, I can say that I’ve actually benefitted so far. I was buy a lot of American because I didn’t think about it, but lately I’ve replaced a lot of those products with local ones and in most cases the switch has been for the better.

  2. Me and my family are getting into this as well, my daughter is 9 and it’s important to create awareness for her too, very important lessons to be learned for the next generation
