Canadians are now using an app ("Maple Scan") to identify American products and identify Canadian alternatives. This would have been unthinkable before; now that it's here, I bet it won't ever go away.

Several years ago I tried to get an app developer to create one to identify those products which were environmentally unsound or products of the evil billionaire class. (Shorthand for the Koch, Murdoch, etc dynasties.)

It would have also had tab for “environmental concerns”, “political”, and so on.

Couldn’t get anyone interested and dropped it. Wonder if it’s time to try again.
