Just as some information on the origins of this custom, as it started here in Ontario and many folks in my Jeep clubs know the woman who started it personally.
The woman who started it was a dual citizen who lived mostly in Alabama but was from Ontario. She was visiting here when COVID hit and got stuck here for many months. Her Jeep had Alabama plates and there was a lot of growing anti-US sentiment up here during COVID apparently. She ended up getting assaulted in a parking lot by another Jeeper for having American plates.
While she was recovering she had the idea to get plastic ducks from the dollar store to try to start a community vibe. She was trying to turn a negative into a positive.
Honestly, I've gotten 1 duck before a few years back by one of her friends. It didn't bother me, was nice sentiment but I didn't keep it in my Jeep either.
The whole anti-duck thing has gotten out of hand if you ask me. I, for one, don't get my panties in a wad over it.

Ok, now I'm starting to understand why @AndyG is so into the duck thing. Since it's Alabama they are definitely related.
I haven’t been to target in years, last time I scored 2 PS5’s when they were scarce.
But I’m confused why men shouldn’t shop at target? What is the issue causing these fragile male egos?

There have been many issues over the years. Let’s just say Target and my values don’t align.

I can believe an Alabama/Canadian connection could create such a problem
Like having a cousin that's also your wife?
Let me ask my wife.....”hey sis, ....”
I still go back to when they removed the guns and ammo as when I soured on them.
Walmart too.
Some Walmart's here still have them.
This incident made sure we never have them at Walmart ever again.

Walmart too.
Our local Wal Mart still sells rifles, shotguns, and ammo.
