Excerpt from the article:

Etee Canada, a skincare and cleaning supply company founded in Parkdale, has severed ties with its former shipping goods supplier, Uline, after learning that the company’s owners are major donors of U.S. President Donald Trump.

In Uline’s stead, Etee CEO Steve Reble said he was able to find cheaper and more sustainable boxes produced in the GTA — and he’s encouraging other Canadian businesses to follow suit.

Uline, a leading American supplier of cardboard boxes and other shipping goods, is privately owned by founders Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein. The couple gave US$5 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign, according to Forbes, cracking the publication’s list of Trump’s top donors. They also contributed over $100 million to Republican groups during the last election cycle, according to campaign finance tracker Open Secrets.

Reble estimates his company was spending hundreds of thousands a year on Uline’s products, from their cardboard boxes to gloves to other business supplies — making them one of Etee’s main suppliers.

“All of a sudden I'm like, ‘Oh my God, by buying from Uline, we're essentially supporting the annexation of our country,’” Reble said.

Trump has repeatedly referred to Canada as the “51st state” since late 2024, and suggested he would use “economic force” to annex Canada.
