🇨🇦 Canadian products

🇺🇸  It's been a month of politics. In the US, I wonder who is running the country... Apparently, the DOGE boys are getting into computers! Sadly, they are programmers, not Forensic Accountants, who may have a chance in determining where Dump can cut costs in order to give oligarchs tax breaks.



🇨🇦 All of us know what is going on in the US. Canadians are sticking together.  This is a unifying force for us. The provincial and territorial leaders are talking with our Prime Minister, and while it  is easier to truck goods back and forth between northern US states and Canada, we're going to make this work. It is a 5000+ km border between Canada and the US. 

Snowbirds are selling their Florida homes. People are changing their holiday plans from US destinations to alternative locations. 

Is this Canadian? is a new AI app, created in Quebec. Canadians are scouring labels for Made in Canada.

Is this Canadian?


Websites are popping up to source out Canadian goods, i.e., buytheleaf.ca .
buytheleaf.ca

Many are sourcing Canadian goods and providing options. Made in CA.

All made in Belleville!
A pair of Edmonton entrepreneurs, Matthew Suddaby and William Boytinck, have created an app called Shop Canadian to help with just that.

There are options, with the difference between using Canadian ingredients, vs. bottled in Canada, using national sources.

This is really deceitful. You need your reading glasses to determine that this states "Designed in Canada," but is made in the USA. 


Also... CBC is reporting that some grocers are putting flags on Canadian products. That is helpful.

There are some foods we simply won't buy fresh these days. A lot of produce comes from the US. With flash freeze technology, frozen foods will be the best choice. Apparently, 75% of our salad dressing comes from the US. We can change that. 

Joe has been buying wonderful soup. From Spain! No more USA produced Campbell's Soups for us.

In the meantime, products, such as a snowblower, we can only access from the US. 

 

We've a winter storm watch for Wednesday/Thursday. Perhaps 20 -  30 cm.
