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

I just checked the President's Choice broccoli in my freezer and it says "Product of Belgium".

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.

As an American I really miss Liberté yogurt, its been over a decade since I saw it in stores.

Yeah, that was good stuff.

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.

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

Is it prescient, poignant or just apt?

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.

Wait, what do you mean YOPLAIT?!? That brand still exists? I remember seeing it in Spain during the early 90s and then disappearing there. I thought it was a Spanish brand since I haven't seen it outside that country. TIL.

yoplait canada is not owned by general mills anymore. they closed on the deal to sell it back to the french company they bought it from just last week. src

[–] Reverendender 6 points 5 days ago

Yoplait was the gourmet stuff we couldn't afford back in the 80's

Cool to see some brands I already use on here. Speaking of, I kinda thought everyone used Sun-Rype for their juice anyway. I mean, I am biased as I've been by their HQ multiple times so it just feels natural to buy their brand, but still.

Probably already mentioned, but afaik Tim Hortons is American now

Madeinca.ca looks to be a good resource for this kind of thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Yay for Canada! All of those US brands, not one in my home. You’ll be better off without them.
