I wish we had more Canadian products in the grocery stores here in BC. It’s hard avoiding all American products.
It's hard but even small efforts help. For me the hierarchy kinda goes like this:
- Canadian company
- Non-Canadian, non-US company
- US company franchised/operating in Canada
- US company operating in the US
I aim for number one, try to avoid number four, and the two inner ones are a little more loosey-goosey for me and will depend mostly on the individual product. There are some things we just don't produce here so... I just do what I can, where I can, and don't feel guilty if there's an American product I can't replace (ever/yet).
Yeah I think we follow the same logic, it just makes sense. Even though there's sometimes a hit in the cost or quantity of the product.
