Still don’t fully agree. The environmental impact of shipping from overseas is costly, so investing in means to create product here rather than overseas should be seen as a necessity.
We grow tomatoes, cucumbers, cannabis, and some bell peppers in green houses here, and should invest in expanding those options available to Canadian consumers.

Ocean freight is actually REALLY efficient. On a per-item basis, the environmental cost of the boat is typically less than the environmental impact of the trucks that handle the rest of the journey.
Of course, that efficiency means we move a LOT of stuff over the ocean, and it does add up
TL;DR:
Boycott US, Buy Canadian but also from our other allies
