Plan for a extra couple minutes in the store to check the labels but there are alot of options . You might even be surprised at what you already buying thats Canadian. Living her best life is teaching you a lesson right now, was a product fully made in Canada or was it brought in "half made" and was "packaged or prepared here" - thats ware the lines are blurred between American and Canada.

Dear Canadians, please know that the the plump chump doesn't represent the views of all of us. Canada has been, and hopefully will continue to be after he is gone, a great neighbor and friend. I just subscribed to this channel and I will be buying all the Canadian products I can find here in the US.

[@HattieGhost]

I just shopped at our local Save-On and here is a list of products I couldn't buy because they were not Canadian: onions, celery, pumpkin puree, cranberry juice, orange juice (although I could have bought small containers of Canadian made), cranberry sauce and a valentine card for my husband. I ended up buying frozen Canadian cranberries and will make and can my own cranberry sauce tomorrow. I made my own valentine card for my husband. I do wonder, however, if there is such a thing as Canadian razors.

[@douglasmcbryan3705]

I love Canada Dry gingerale but the parent company is Dr. Pepper. Went to their website. Nancy

[@LivingHerBestLife]

@@douglasmcbryan3705 oh really.... that's too bad 🇨🇦💕

[@mktay2067]

I think this is a great topic but we need to realize distributed by or prepared for doesn't mean Canadian or local. It is just that they have a warehouse in Canada it gets collected at and then sent out from there. Most of those items will still come from the US and be subject to Tarrifs. Example would be Canada Dry t is owned by Dr. Pepper an American company.

[@Tired67yrold-qw7wj]

AGREED!!!!! Prepared/made in Canada can be misleading at best. For example, the juice shown from Sunrype had kiwis on the packaging. We don't grow/ produce kiwis here in Canada, as far as I know. Same with the peanut butter, yes made in Canada but undoubtedly the peanuts are NOT grown in Canada. So who are we supporting at the grocery store? Both the 'producer" and the 'preparer' - but also the 'distributor' and any or all of each of those 3 could be Canadian or a combination of Canadian and foreign. And the store itself could be part of a foreign owned chain or not. Distributed in Canada is not critical to 'going Canadian' excepting that the company with the warehouse or the trucking company doing the physical distribution to each store could be 'locally' owned and operated and employing locals. Distributed in Canada by xxxx foodstuffs can come from any country. Having said that, supporting a Canadian entity anywhere along the food chain seems better than nothing... keeping in mind there are multiple US companies and International conglomerates with Canadian subsidiaries whose status can be unclear on labelling. The CRITICAL information seems to be "product of Canada" also having been prepared in Canada, but probably even if it were a product of Canada which went elsewhere to be refined and turned/prepared into a sellable product, that would support Canadian farmers and growers, but not Canadian manufacturers, and so on. For a far fetched example (far fetched because the US grow their own potatoes in Idaho) lets say PEI /Canadian potatoes are sold to a US manufacturer, and turned into frozen hash browns in the US. Then they could come back to Canada for sale under a store brand for example. Presumably along the way there would be tariffs assessed on both sides, both for the US entity buying our potatoes and ultimately for the Canadian consumers buying the hash browns. So if it is the tariffs you are fighting, then it's best to fully educate yourself about whic tariffs are being paid by at which stage of the game. My next choice might be any product prepared in Canada by a wholly Canadian owned firm, followed by prepared in Canada by any given foreign owned entity. You see where this is going. Buying grown in Canada, produced in Canada, warehoused in Canada and trucked or otherwise distributed in Canada by wholly owned 100% Canadian entities is likely a pipe dream. Funny that the maple syrup got a "no", because last I heard we are the world's largest exporter of maple syrup. Some comes from the US, but not much, so ANYTHING with maple syrup is thanks to Canadian growers (whose tree farms could be owned by foreign entites!) Keeping it Canadian in a world where most Canadian manufacturing, other than some oil and gas refining, has been shut down in favour of foreign manufacturers will be difficult. That's the Global Village we live in. We will replace oranges from California with oranges from South Africa, grapes from California with grapes from Peru, etc, but wait - we already began that practice at least a decade ago! I think the objective may not be so much to shop Canadian, because we dont grow a ton here anymore, but rather to NOT shop US. Meanwhile let's hope that we match their tariffs. They also need OUR goods. Maybe not produce, but oil and gas, electricity and raw lumber certainly get shipped to US in humongous amounts.

[@fatsab59]

Canadian supermarkets should put The Canadian flag or maple leaf for Canadian products next to the price on their shelves. That way it will be easier for buyers to make informed decisions. Buy Canadian only whenever you can!!!

Thank you for your informational video. ❤ this! 'Product of Canada' means at least 98% of the item is Canadian, and 'Made in Canada' means at least 51% of the item is Canadian. I think that even if you still do videos from shopping at Costco, that you should focus on Canadian products. Because even though it's an American store, you are supporting Canadian employees in your area who work there. ❤Canada!

[@rw6333]

Canada Dry: Canadian founded but owned by Dr. Pepper (American) 😕 Kraft Dinner: Kraft Foods Group merged with Heinz in 2015 so, no, KD is not a Canadian product either Catelli: Manufactured in Canada, but not Canadian owned Cracker Barrel: Made with 100% Canadian milk, but parent company is in France. Nabob: Product of Kraft Foods (American). The list is endless, and it’s easy to go down the rabbit hole. If you’re looking for Canadian companies, that’s one thing; otherwise, looking for the Canadian maple leaf might just mean the product is using Canadian ingredients but manufactured elsewhere.
