Wish more attention would be given to Liberal criminality that has destroyed the Canadian economy rather than what a foreign leader is doing.
I don’t think I can buy BC wine in Ontario. This is so stupid. The Canadian government made us so dependent on the US, now you want everyone to buy Canadian? I want to buy Alberta oil in Ontario. Thanks to this liberal government, I can’t!
Hypocrites…..
What is buy Canadian when the rent coast double the price and groceries almost doubled,then the salary remain same minimum can only buy a salad 🥗 per hour of working.
Nope ! FREEDOM IS BUYING WHAT IS CHEAPER ON SHELF FOR US.
😅😅😅
Why is it so complicated to find out where a product is made? It’s often easier to determine where it was packaged or who the importer is. The government should require distributors to clearly display the country of origin so consumers can make informed purchasing decisions. This has been a long-standing issue in Canada, making it difficult to determine the manufacturing origin of some products and, when applicable, their expiration dates.
The point we need to understand is, standard of living depends on economic prosperity. When peoples go on strike requesting 24% wage increase over 4 yrs even the corporation is going bankrupt, this place is deterring investments. And the gov. needs to put more taxes(which further deters investments), printing more money leading further devaluation of cad, heading to Venezuela.
This is a fundamental mindset problem needed to be fixed.
Buy American. The great 51st state of America!
Very informative
I will buy what I choose
Let's talk about China running the Vancouver port, they are running CCP police stations, China laundering money in BC, we have a closed Parliment and we are being denied an election and dictated to except our new WEF Oligarky Country leader unelected by the people. Now we are taken over by the Liberal party as a Dictating body and we are forced to except an install. Trudeau always loved the "basic Dictatorship of China" and now we are living it.
what about AMAZON?
Live a more subsistence lifestyle and hunt/fish and grow your own. Leave the major cities and do your own work
I'd love to know how to boycott Italian grocers who do everything to antagonize Canadian markets by putting on sale every American product at the first sign of tariffs. Philadelphia, Pillsbury, Green Giant… ALL on sale. Awful. Atrocious. Shop at Walmart?
I’m going MexiCan.
Do you want to be annexed? Do you want to lose your Universal Health Care? Do you want to see Trump put his filthy hands on our oil, water, rivers etc.? Do you want to become the 51rst state? Do your homework, take the time it's important.
The declaration label "Product of Canada" really means it was packaged and labelled in Canada. There is no way to know how much is really Canadian versus imported because it is left up the manufacturer/packager to self-regulate. Do not kid yourselves. There is so much cheating in the food industry the labels have become near meaningless.
Good on you, Canada.
I know there's a lot of Procter and Gamble in Canadian households. That's a good place to start.
Thank you so much for helping us encounter the…" fake logos " etc…we need more News like this one!
We so appreciated it!

Grocery shopping just became much more complicated, specially amidst this high living cost crisis. I hope those Canadian Trumpists are enjoying the higher costs!!
It’s not as hard as some would have you believe.
Buy Canadian 🇨🇦
This is the second time that this certain individual who seems to think he’s in charge has broken up the contracts of proper trade. Since we can no longer trust him or his government to deal with us appropriately from this point on everything we purchase should be from anywhere except the United States. Europe has fantastic products, tastier, and way healthier than anything. The United States could possibly have. Mexico has incredibly diverse and tasty products that they could ship directly to us. We are also not too shabby when it comes to making things. Lots of our products that we would normally sell to the United States. We should now trade with people who considered the rule of law important. Such as the European Union as well as Mexico and anybody else who wishes to trade with us who are of like-minded.
