Recently I’ve been trying to work on purchasing more products made here in Canada as opposed to down south or overseas, reason being to help decrease my environmental footprint, as well as to keep my money supporting businesses based in Canada, especially with the tariffs that might be coming in the near future.
I was curious if there were some good tips to help find products made within our borders. Some stuff has been easy, like swapping from Silk to Earth’s Own for example due to labeling on the package that states where the product was manufactured, but other stuff is a bit of a pain since it doesn’t seem to indicate where the product is manufactured or at the very least if it was imported, just where the company’s head office is located.
While my main concern is with groceries since I’ve been trying to purchase more second-hand as of late, I was curious as to what some good all-around tips are for finding Canadian products. I’m willing to spend a little more if needed, I prefer to bank my money in my morals and not in convenience.
I think the problem is that it’s difficult to tell whether it’s a joke or a troll, because of this crappy timeline we find ourselves in. I’ll accept that it was intended as a joke, but it read as a troll to me initially.
Twas all but in jest my Lord. Had I wanted to be cruel I would have mentioned Canadians should start by getting locally sourced monarchs, the current ones reek of pedo.

Just only buy 100 percent real maple syrup and beaver fur clothes and you should be good. What else do you need?
OP’s desire to buy locally for their reasons listed doesn’t mean we should make slippery slope comments
Do we seriously not get the joke?
They unfortunately do not.

Just take a look at their comment history. Clearly gets a hard-on annoying people.
Any case, downvoting and ignoring.
ah fair enough and yeah looks like a troll or bad faith user👍
Do you actually think that was a serious suggestion instead of a light hearted joke? Really?
