Haven’t bought clothes, personal electronics, appliances, fabrics, medical devices in ages. The last customer support I called was for Revenue Canada. As for my meds, those are all generic and essentially free for me.
The only things I buy regularly is booze (Canadian Club and Laker) and groceries and I buy as much Made In Canada produce as possible.
