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

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

    I will always check the origin of a product. EU, USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are always a go. Now I will look a bit closer and make an effort to avoid the shithole red states.

    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.

      There are more local options not from PC nor the US that OP didn’t list, the most obvious one to me is frozen pizzas.

      At least in Quebec, there are so many non-American frozen pizza brands I can’t possibly list them all, two of them would be ILIOS and Como’s.

    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.

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

      I hate how deceptive names can be. You just think by default “oh this must be Canadian then”. So much homework to figure out the truth with all these conglomerates

    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.

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

      Old Dutch All Dressed is really good too! I get the sour cream and cheddar every once in a while. It’s weirdly addictive. I also grew up on their ketchup chips.

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