as an aussie, this is all so fucked up… we have basically nothing here that’s canadian, but i’m certainly switching all my shopping and services away from US brands in solidarity (RIP vegemite :p)
global solidarity against the fucking bully
at the very least, anyone could be next… but even without that somewhat selfish take, canadians don’t deserve any of this
Is Vegemite American made? Wow. My SO is Australian and his family would bring him some when they visited. We can only get Marmite here.
This isn’t going to be easy but the orange rapist doesn’t seem to comprehend that we can hit them where they live.
I can’t wait for 2028.
Yay for Canada! All of those US brands, not one in my home. You’ll be better off without them.

In solidarity with Mexico I might just stick with El Yucateco.
You’ve pointed out an aspect of this that has escaped too many. You don’t fight nationalism with more nationalism. This trade war can only result in stronger trade partnerships with other nations.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how Canadian my stuff already is. It makes sense, I guess - shipping costs something, and I look for deals.
The really hard thing will be fresh, perishable goods, so I’ve spent the last several years moving onto all-pantry recipes. Detergent is also weirdly American, although Tru Earth is Canadian.
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.
Just went grocery shopping. It was actually easier to figure out what was made in the US than I expected. Pretty much everything was labeled with the origin and where they were imported from (if they were imported).
The other thing I learned is that the US cornered the junk food market lmao.
Also I did buy one item from the US which was broccoli. If someone finds broccoli not from the US let me know :D
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.
And even if a company’s HQ is in America, their shareholders are probably all over. Personally I’ll only worry a bout the physical supply chain.
Canada Dry isn’t Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.
BioSteel was bought by a conspiracy theorist/Guru type last year that also owns Canadian Protein. For anyone that needs proof just lookup the owner and his social media.
PVL is probably a decent Canadian alternative.
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…
But a pretty easy time finding mustard that doesn’t say it uses Canadian mustard seed, so…
I’m just saying that because we produce a shit ton of seeds in Canada so unless you go out of your way to buy mustard produced in Asia, you’re getting Canadian mustard seeds in your mustard.
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.
but not from a canadian-owned store
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
Can we please not call Tim Hortons Canadian?
Nor is Robin Good and Four roses
Sorry I didn’t make the list, that is dumb.
Who did make it? What is its source?
Exactly. Restaurant Brands which owns Burger King, Tim Hortons and Popeyes is a US company. Tim Hortons is garbage anyway.
It’s actually Brazilian.
Is that why they’re so smooth?
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.
What part of Canada was this list created for?
Loblaws, I think.
