Hey all,

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 it’s easiest to slowly learn as you go, or research specific products. Details change and guides/resources can go out of date by the time you need to buy something

Some links:

Went to check the madeinca website…

Seems cool… just one question though: Why is Toronto a category?

Because Toronto.

Because one quarter of the population of Canada lives within the golden horseshoe.
