For you bourbon lovers, go to Bridgeland Distillery and get their Taber Corn Berbon. It's quite good.

I did a quick grocery store run last night, lots of maple leafs on shelves beside Canadian products.

And someone had been turning boxes and cans upside down on the shelves. When i looked it up, there is some social media posts about it. US products being turned upside down to help folks avoid them.

When I was at the store, I saw some just outright damaged produce from the U.S. making it pretty much worthless (holes poked in them, or just squished).
Not that I advocate destroying food (because I don't), but I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to become more common.

So what about American companies that make their Canadian products here? I saw a lot of Made in Canada tags under stuff from obviously American companies (Pepsico), but the packaging does say it was made in Ontario

It's publicly traded, but VN Capital, a North Carolina based firm, is the largest shareholder with a 28% stake after a debt restructuring deal (according to Google AI).

Personally, I’m trying to avoid those as well.

What is the difference between made in Canada and produced in Canada?

"Product of Canada" claims will be subject to a higher threshold of Canadian content (98%), while "Made in Canada" claims will remain subject to a 51% threshold of Canadian content but should be accompanied by a qualifying statement indicating that the product contains imported content.

People need to be careful with how they shop. Sure its nice to use a product made in Canada by a company that is Canadian owned, but a lot of American companies have Canadian plants that employ Canadian workers.

Frito Lay as an example does a lot of food processing down East but they are an American Company.

Its important to support Canadian workers as well.

I think if there are no Canadian substitutions, buying from a Canadian manufactured facility is the next best thing.

Are there export tariffs on fake taco meat already, cause 5 regular small tacos cost me $20 at taco bell and I'm pretty sure that's a 40% or so jump from the last time I was there. Not even a drink included in that. Wild..

I remember 79 cent taco days and I'm not that old.
