  • How can I provide you a list of local products specific to your area? I live in the more French part of Montreal, Le Plateau, and everything is full of products from France and Quebec. Highly irrelevant to what you likely have in say Toronto.

    I used to live in the Junction and would frequent three non-galen stores in the area (a local butcher, Sweet Potato and Stari Grad) and never encountered either the listed US or Canadian brands, unless I had to go to the no frills in the area for cheap TP.

    This list is simply stupid. It’s an infatuation with big consumer brands and outdated products. Very typical of North America.



  • This list is the equivalent of French’s “proudly made in Canada” Ketchup response to the Heinz boycott from a couple years back when they’ve decided to close their Ontario factory. French’s still being just another US company, that did not close it’s Canadian plants at the time.

    Also it’s full of shit products and seems to push galen’s stuff mostly, when there’s so many smaller, local alternatives.

    Many American brands I’ve never even heard of. And Nestlé is Swiss, not from the US.

















  • It’s not. The Hungarian government is a dictatorship though that controls the media and thus the narrative. It has an aging population glued to the radio and television.

    The language barrier is the biggest hurdle to overcome. Magyar is so unlike any other language in Europe, many never made the effort to learn another, where it’s not just different words that they would have to learn, but entirely different syntax, grammar and intonation as well.

    Budapest is like a beacon of enlightenment within a country of darkness. They just need to launch a bunch of rpgs from the top of Gellért Hill towards the Parliament when it’s in session. They can always rebuild it again later.
