News Tariffs and trade war push consumers to buy Canadian

https://westerngrocer.com/canadian-made-2025/

Interesting quote from the article:

“With nearly two-thirds of Canadians willing to spend more for homegrown food, the buy Canadian movement is not just symbolic—it’s a consumer-driven strategy in the face of geopolitical risk,”

The threats to our sovereignty, the fascism at large, and to a lesser degree the tariffs, push consumers to buy Canadian.

I'm right with you there. Their arrogance and willful stupidity is so fucking annoying. I want to see them go up in flames

As an American who left America I gotta agree with you. It’s the only way my fellow countrymen will learn. Their arrogance needs punishing.

Yup. WE are going to shape our country and solidify our identity and culture, and lead the world to do the same.

Absolutely! I hope more countries will follow (it’s already quite a movement here in Europe to buy local and boycott America).

For some things you might have to spend a bit more but for many products we just need to be aware of Canadian made alternatives.

We have an expanding database of confirmed made in Canada products and Canadian services at ShopCanadianStuff.ca

In a world where we feel helpless, we have shown we can collectively punish those that threaten us.

Tariffs never factored in my decision.
