It’s no secret that Canadians are mad about the completely unjustified tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on Canadians. That’s created a grassroots movement to keep as many Canadian dollars in Canada. To help with that, a reader tipped me off to this browser extension called Support Canadian. From the website:

Unfortunately leaving Amazon fully is difficult for many so the extension surfaces Canadian products to the top of any Amazon search you make.

And:

Visiting Walmart.ca? It suggests Canadian Tire. On Netflix? It flags CBC Gem or Crave. It has 500+ alternative websites based on some of Reddit’s largest Canadian-made lists.

And:

No tracking, no ads. I made it completely privacy-focused with no personal information requested. (You can see for yourself on the download page in the Privacy Section)

This browser extension has gained traction on Reddit and as the word gets out there, I am pretty sure that it’s going to get even more traction. You can download it here:

• Firefox Installation: Firefox Extension
• Chrome/Edge Installation: Google Extension Web Store

There’s no version for Safari currently, but I am sure that if the demand for that is there, it will come.

In my mind, this is a far more productive exercise than booing the US national anthem at hockey games because if enough people use this extension and alter their purchasing habits accordingly, then it will send a clear message that Canada will not be bullied by the US.
