If the company is Canadian, then they’re paying Canadian taxes. Like, we don’t make rice in Canada but I’ll buy from 555 which is a local importer instead of Uncle Ben. Or for example, I try to buy Canadian soap but if I can’t, I buy French brands.
I buy Canadian first, anything but US second, any effort is good, there’s no way you’re gonna have a 100% local economy anyway…
The whole idea of the movement is to buy more consciously.
All education programs are managed the same way in Canada.
The reason this was proposed is that we have been losing a good portion of our doctors to the US.
The thing is, if you come from another country and want to study at McGill University to become a doctor, you will pay the full amount of your studies and can go back to work wherever you want.
Canadians have decided as a society that we want to lessen the burden of our citizens in regards to education in order to remove barriers for highly skilled careers (or any careers) but this is paid by our taxes. Training doctors just so they can fuck off to the US and never pay a cent of taxes here is a bad investment and is creating undue pressure in our medical system.
So yeah, I think it’s fair to ask that if you use our low cost education system, you should be accountable to give back to the community before you decide to go exploit the broken system down south for personal gain.
I mean free is a big word. It’s affordable compared to elsewhere and you can get loans and whatnot but it’s still about 5k+ per year depending on which university you go to and if you do it in your home province or not.
The data from this page is a bit old but it provides a good idea.

It’s basically free if you compare it to the US though, that’s for sure…
Sobeys’ Compliment and Metro’s Selection and very much Canadian alternatives and they cost the same as heinz normally. According to buy beaver there’s also Western Family.
