Where Do Your Loyalties Lie?
Where Do Your Loyalties Lie? - jim Young “You can’t buy happiness, but you can live in Canada. And that’s pretty much the same thing.” - anon I recently saw a post on Facebook calling for Canadians to boycott products made in the U.S. Given the current state of affairs between Canada and the U.S. I thought this was not a bad idea. The post listed a number of substitutes for commonly purchased groceries to help make wise choices when grocery shopping. A disclaimer on the list stated “Some products still to be vetted.” So before sharing I set out to “fact-check” the list as I usually try to do anyway.

U.S. News is generally considered to have a high "factual" record with very little left bias.
