Canada

Can we please not call Tim Hortons Canadian?

As an ashamed American, I really dig the solidarity and support you guys are showing with your alternative products and boycott lists!

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.

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.

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.

Tim Hortons is about as uncanadian as Starbucks, they're owned by RBI, which is owned by 3Com, a Brazilian food conglomerate.

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

Wait...
French's ketchup is Canadian but French's mustard is American???

Canada Dry isn't Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.

I know it's not a real option for many, but for those who can afford to I'd also recommend shopping local for groceries as much as possible. We need to stand together in the face of these tariffs, but I don't love the idea of Loblaws and co. standing to gain so much from the struggles of the public yet again.

Check out local grocery stores and smaller chains like Co-Op if they operate in your area for Canadian made goods. Look and see if there's a local farmers market you can buy staples like eggs and produce from. It's the little guys that are likely to face an existential threat from all this international non-diplomacy.

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.

In solidarity with Mexico I might just stick with El Yucateco.

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.

Old Dutch is the best. I grew up on the rippled sour cream and onion. I never got the lays appeal..

As an American, honestly just avoid those brands in general. Not because they're American made, but many of them are already shit to begin with. Maybe it's shrinkflation, or all the wacky chemicals, or the way they treat their workers.

So take this opportunity not only to be patriotic to your Canadian country, but to also improve your own standard of living and buying better quality foods.

I can't wait for 2028.

Fantastic list! Where'd you find it?

For anyone scrolling, add Rustica to the frozen pizza list. Siwin for excellent dumplings. Cheemo for perogies. I've just found them in the past few months and they're all really well made.

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.

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.

If Coke etc are canned in Canada do they get tariffs? The Canadian people deserve better than PC cola.

I wouldn't president's choice or any other loblaws either. unless rob loblaws month never ended the by all means go for it.

Kicking Horse Coffee is majority owned by Lavazza, an Italian company. Not Canadian, but still better to support than Tim Hortons.

I quite enjoy seeing "President's Choice" on this list.

Is it prescient, poignant or just apt?

Seeing all these American companies earnings go down next report would be glorious.

Buy local and donate the difference if you really care. That way Rump doesn't get that 25%, and it's tax free.

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.

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.

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

Those chips brands are so much better than lays.

Edit: Isn't ms Vickies Canadian too?

For mayonnaise, if you’re in Quebec, I strongly recommend MAG.

This list is the equivalent of French's "proudly made in Canada" Ketchup response to the Heinz boycott from a couple years back when they've decided to close their Ontario factory. French's still being just another US company, that did not close it's Canadian plants at the time.

Also it's full of shit products and seems to push galen's stuff mostly, when there's so many smaller, local alternatives.

Many American brands I've never even heard of. And Nestlé is Swiss, not from the US.
