Isn’t there also a “buy Canadian” movement in Canada?

I can be worried about more than one thing.

…it’s a much easier message for politicians to rationalize.

I get what you said in the unquoted part, but maybe it’s just me. Buy Canadian is less rational than pointing out from whom not to buy, on account of how nationalistic it sounds. At the risk of sounding all slippery-slope about it, I don’t want to go down the road of nationalism.
