Learn to expect these types of stupid posts from Scooby.
They are doing some immediately. And allowing local companies to resource if possible by delaying three weeks for the rest.
That's smart. You are not.
It's funny how a year ago, the Liberal apologists were screaming from the rooftops, "It's not the carbon tax, it's greedy corporations like Loblaws gouging; I'm gonna buy from Wal-Mart" are now wrapping themselves in Chinese-made Canadian flags (that they previously called a racist symbol) trying to "buy Canadian" without realizing how loose the definition of "manufactured in Canada" really is.
Made in China is ok, made in EU is ok, Mexico is ok.
Just the US now.
We willed ,next your stop praying to Trump and burn your Trump bible. Trump will not be happy.
The Nestlé milk boycott hit hard but didnt break the giant. It started in the late 1970s, a response to Nestlé’s agressive marketing of infant formula in developing nations, especially in Africa. Clean water was scarce, so when mothers mixed the powder with contaminated water, babys got sick. Some died. But Nestlé pushed their product hard, convincing women that formula was better than breast milk. Many believed it.
The outrage spread. Europe, North America, Canada—students and activists took up the cause. They pressured stores, held protests, made noise. It worked—to a point. The backlash forced the World Health Organization (WHO) to introduce the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes in 1981. Nestlé, facing heat, agreed to follow it in 1984. The boycott paused.
But they didnt really stop. Reports kept coming—formula promotions, shady sales tactics, marketing that undermined breastfeading. By the 90s, the boycott was back. Nestlé pushed back too. PR campaigns, claims of reform, new policies. Critics wern't convinced. Violations of the WHO Code kept surfacing, even into the 2000s and beyond.
In Canada, the boycott raised awareness, made Nestlé squirm a little. Some grocery chains got pressure to drop their products. But Nestlé was too big, too deep in the market. They adapted, shifted tactics, kept selling.
So, did they change? Sure—but only as much as they had to. The boycott proved that protest has power. But Nestlé? It bent, it stumbled, but it never broke.
Stupid? I've corrected more of your posts than I can count when you have to backtrack after misstating information.
You should be thanking me.
I'll thank you! Thank you for making the rest of us look smarter...
Shouldn't you be looking for another piece of information to post that ends up being misinformation and/or contains something you weren't aware of that contradicts your point?
But if the voices in your head are suggesting that never happened many times then perhaps you are the one that should seek professional help.
You can post bullshit and nonsense because that is what you're use to absorbing, doesn't mean you will be believed when you splatter it ala Trumputin. Keep trying though because you are proving FunForAll's statement that your posts are stupid.
Unlike Orange Man, our govt is applying the tariffs to maximize pain and minimize harm. Tariffs on US goods where there are good alternatives and also to mitigate harm to our industries.
Says the guy who posts youtube videos as his source of truth then falls on his face when they contradict his point because he didn't bother to actually watch what he posted and just went with the headline.
