Mark Kingwell: I want to ‘Buy Canadian,’ but I don’t want to let down friends and family in the U.S. What should I do?

What is A Good Life? Plato said it requires virtue. Epicurus said the trick is never talking politics. Nietzsche said if you’re striving for happiness, you’re losing. To the Star, A Good Life is our advice column in which our philosophical advisors help you navigate everyday dilemmas about romance, career and how best to spend your fleeting time on earth, guiding you out of the existential muck, toward A Good Life.

It’s getting hard to put my money where my mouth is these days. I’m trying to buy Canadian only – but, frankly, I am a bit torn. Not because I can’t do without American products, but because I have so many friends and family in the U.S. How do I balance this economic/ethics tightrope without dividing my loyalties?

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
