I work at a pet food manufacturer in Wisconsin, and we sell our products in Canada. We’ve been fielding lots of questions and feedback contacts from our Canadian customers saying they won’t feed our products anymore. I get it, and I’m in full support of anyone who boycotts us. In my department, both of the people I report to are right wing, Trump-voting idiots who didn’t think about how this affects us directly.
This makes my job harder, but hit us where it hurts. I will sit back and laugh as the leopards eat their faces. I truly hope the company as a whole survives as is, but I am prepared if we don’t. Fuck around and find out.
Canada Dry isn’t Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.
Coca Cola is bad because… It’s owned by an American corporation, despite being bottled in Canada?
Why then are we suggested to buy Great Value? Is it because Walmart is an American corporation but it’s bottled in Canada?
I’ve seen this suggestion a few times before this post. Someone help it make sense.
The one product I needed tonight from this list doesn’t like it is listed correctly. PC mustard is product of USA. I passed on it and bought French’s because it at least uses Canadian mustard seed. And fuck Galen Weston anyway.
You would have a hard time finding mustard that doesn’t use Canadian mustard seed…
If Coke etc are canned in Canada do they get tariffs? The Canadian people deserve better than PC cola.
They shouldn’t, one of the goals of tarrifs is to encourage production in-country
Loblaws will continue to receive none of my money.
Fuck galen. Fuck Presidents choice anything.
They will probably raise their prices AGAIN in times of hardship to make hundred of millions more.
I will not eat their products.
I will eat the rich.
I will shoplift their products though.
What part of Canada was this list created for?
Can we please not call Tim Hortons Canadian?
Sorry I didn’t make the list, that is dumb.
Exactly. Restaurant Brands which owns Burger King, Tim Hortons and Popeyes is a US company. Tim Hortons is garbage anyway.
It’s actually Brazilian.
According to Wikipedia they’re headquartered in Toronto
In 2014, Burger King bought Tim Hortons in a merger that formed Restaurant Brands International; a primarily American company, though headquartered in Toronto alongside Tim Hortons (for tax purposes). Both then and now, RBIs primary assets/interests are in America.
Ah, good to know. Thanks.
I honestly believe this can be a net positive. Lots opportunities internationally. Plenty of natural resources .
These kinds of things bring people together. America doesn’t understand that.
Earth’s Own is Canadian and makes pretty good oat milk.
I’ve already switched to them for a while since it’s more affordable than other coffee creamers.
Sold at Dollarama too, for the same price that other stores tend to have on special only.
Their Batista oat milk is great too, I legit prefer oat milk to dairy for most things, tastes better in coffee drinks imo.
100% Oat Milk lattes are no joke.
As an ashamed American, I really dig the solidarity and support you guys are showing with your alternative products and boycott lists!
Like Letterkenny says, if there’s one thing you Yanks have sorted, it’s your shopping. I will very much miss clothes shopping there because that really was a big savings.
I just came back from groceries, and I went in with every intention to not by anything from the USA. Much to my surprise, I’d say 90% of what I usually buy are products grown and made in Canada! The rest were from Spain, India, etc.
A few were made in Canada using domestic and imported ingredients, so I’ll be looking for all Canadian alternatives.
Orange juice was the only American product, and was a “one last time” purchase.
FYI, oats, most legumes and beans, and tomato products are nearly all Canadian.
Unico is a great Canadian brand for tinned beans, tomatoes, etc. I always buy it.
Those chips brands are so much better than lays.
Edit: Isn’t ms Vickies Canadian too?
Miss Vickie’s is now owned by PepsiCo, sadly
Miss Vickies originated as a Canadian brand but was purchased by Frito Lay in the 90’s.
I stopped buying Lay’s when they stopped being Hostess.
Yes they are.
Here is a site to help
Those are some grim coffee options. If your store carries jumping bean (mine does) they’re from Newfoundland. There’s some good rosters you can buy online like Detour. Of course if you’re in a city like Vancouver Montreal or Toronto you have endless local rosters but even smaller towns will usually have one or two good ones.
Local roasters are the way if you ha e them.
I’m in Nova Scotia and only drink Just Us - it’s roasted here and both Sobeys and Superstore carry it.

I actually get mine only from a local coffee shop. I’d rather drink less and buy better local quality anyway. I have a subscription and they deliver once a month. It’s nice!
Any recommendations? I do kicking horse or ballzacks but its like $15-20+ per bag of beans, its a bit crazy now. I’m willing to try any alternative that has enough caffeine and tasts halfways decent.
This is the one we buy. They have a few shops too which are great. https://www.416-coffee.com/coffee-subscriptions-ontario?srsltid=AfmBOoprLxerAaOUJ2SILgpWiaBigI4HLeHdr34iywyGr-0OtjAO-cKn
