7 d. ago Ontario grocery store making it easier to identify and buy Canadian products

Canadian grocery products are more important to identify than ever, and one Ontario grocery store is making it easy to find them.In the wake of the U.S. government's implimentation of tariffs on a slew of major imports from Canada, and the Canadian government's retaliatory action which sees 25 per cent tariffs places on a swath of American products, more Canadians than ever are making an effort to search for Canadian brands and products produced within the country.While certain retailers, like the LCBO, as well as a number of restaurants, have already taken action by removing American products from their shelves and menus, others will continue to stock products from south of the border, meaning Canadian consumers will have to take extra care when shopping if they hope to keep their pantry stocked with Canadian goods.While that one viral sketch from This Hour Has 22 Minites did a pretty good job at identifying a number of Canadian alternatives to American products, it ...

8 d. ago There's a big difference between 'made in Canada' and 'product of Canada' labels

A new survey has found that many Canadians want to buy Canadian-made goods and services but are confused as to what that actually means.Conducted earlier this month online by the Halifax-based firm Narrative Research, the survey corroborates other polls that a majority of Canadians (in this case, 63 percent) are actively seeking out Canadian goods, but it also notes that they need some guidance.In particular, the survey found that many Canadians aren't aware of the difference between two commonly used and admittedly similar-sounding terms: "Product of Canada" vs. "Made in Canada." Unaided, 37 percent of respondents said they'd prefer "Made in Canada" products vs. 23 percent who'd choose a "Product of Canada." Forty percent, meanwhile, said they had no preference.However, Narrative Research notes that there's actually quite a big difference between the two labels. According to Canada's Competition Bureau, a non-food "Product of Canada" refers to 98 percent of the total direct cost of...
