Canadian grocers, large and small, are seeking alternatives to U.S. products ahead of a potential trade war, while highlighting homegrown products already available on their shelves.
Roblaws will for sure. They are greedy bastards with no spine.
London Drugs, however, seems very honest and they are showing what’s Canadian on their homepage. Even have a filter! With almost 1200 items that are Canadian already and they are interested in hearing what people would like to see on their shelves! One can email suggestions to ldonline@londondrugs.com
Agree. ALWAYS check labels to make an informed choice (choice itself is yours of course). The apps to scan that I have tried were quite spotty too. I feel like I am better off reading labels myself.

Save on has been adding tags to the shelf to indicate Canadian items
Watch those carefully. Several items with the maple leaf beside the price were in fact US products.
I have seen some as well. Same with the apps that scan.
I’m seeing several online grocery stores now listing Canadian and local products. Stickers in store, too!
Best to check the lables, too. There are differences between “Made in Canada”, “Product of Canada”, “Assembled in Canada”, “Packed in Canada”… Etc.
At the bare minimum, you’re still supporting Canadian workers regardless of which one of those is listed on the label.
