When you buy Canadian-made products or products with Canadian input...

I like that they make this distinction, rather than "Company based in Canada."

As I've done more research, it appears that going with Canadian made, even if the company's brand is from outside the country, has a greater impact than buying from a Canadian company who manufacturers elsewhere.

Of course, buying from a Canadian company who makes products here is the best way to go, if that option exists. 🇨🇦

    I think a large majority of Canadians are of this view and are trying to buy things made in Canada. The minority advocating to boycott made in Canada products of American brands are usually outvoted on social media and I have yet to actually meet anyone in person who advocates for that strategy which leads me to believe at least some of the online commentators advocating for Canadian owned over Canadian workers are trolls or organized disinformation actors. I've setup ShopCanadianStuff.ca to help shoppers find things made in Canada and don't really provide much opportunity to talk about the ownership of brands because I think it is a distraction.
