Canada

Can we please not call Tim Hortons Canadian?

As an ashamed American, I really dig the solidarity and support you guys are showing with your alternative products and boycott lists!

Wait...
French's ketchup is Canadian but French's mustard is American???

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.

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

Yeah but also fuck the PC brand they've been gouging Canadians too.

as an aussie, this is all so fucked up… we have basically nothing here that’s canadian, but i’m certainly switching all my shopping and services away from US brands in solidarity (RIP vegemite :p)

global solidarity against the fucking bully

at the very least, anyone could be next… but even without that somewhat selfish take, canadians don’t deserve any of this

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.

As someone in the US, I will be avoiding large US brands as much as possible as well. All the pain that nazi cockgoblin has and is going to cause makes me really sad.

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

Tim Hortons? I thought that was owned by the taco bell conglomerate?

As an American, honestly just avoid those brands in general. Not because they're American made, but many of them are already shit to begin with. Maybe it's shrinkflation, or all the wacky chemicals, or the way they treat their workers.

So take this opportunity not only to be patriotic to your Canadian country, but to also improve your own standard of living and buying better quality foods.

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.

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.

Dawson's, Piri Piri by PC, No Name hot sauce

In solidarity with Mexico I might just stick with El Yucateco.

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.

As an American I really miss Liberté yogurt, its been over a decade since I saw it in stores.

I can't wait for 2028.

I know it's not a real option for many, but for those who can afford to I'd also recommend shopping local for groceries as much as possible. We need to stand together in the face of these tariffs, but I don't love the idea of Loblaws and co. standing to gain so much from the struggles of the public yet again.

Check out local grocery stores and smaller chains like Co-Op if they operate in your area for Canadian made goods. Look and see if there's a local farmers market you can buy staples like eggs and produce from. It's the little guys that are likely to face an existential threat from all this international non-diplomacy.

I just came back from groceries, and I went in with every intention to not by anything from the USA. Much to my surprise, I'd say 90% of what I usually buy are products grown and made in Canada! The rest were from Spain, India, etc.

A few were made in Canada using domestic and imported ingredients, so I'll be looking for all Canadian alternatives.

Orange juice was the only American product, and was a "one last time" purchase.

FYI, oats, most legumes and beans, and tomato products are nearly all Canadian.

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

I've been pleasantly surprised at how Canadian my stuff already is. It makes sense, I guess - shipping costs something, and I look for deals.

The really hard thing will be fresh, perishable goods, so I've spent the last several years moving onto all-pantry recipes. Detergent is also weirdly American, although Tru Earth is Canadian.

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

Seeing all these American companies earnings go down next report would be glorious.
