Shun US goods, buy local: Canadians ‘mad with America’ reshape grocery shelves

·South China Morning Post·Impact 3/5 · Notable

Canadians are increasingly choosing to buy local products over US goods, leading to a shift in the products available on grocery shelves. This trend is forcing Canadian grocers to improve country-of-origin labelling and find new sources of supply. As a result, many are opting to stock Canadian produce, such as fruits and vegetables, in response to consumer demand. This shift in consumer preference has significant implications for trade and the economy, particularly in the context of the ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the US.
