Grocers stocking up on Canadian, international suppliers as shoppers avoid American
Canadian grocers, large and small, are seeking alternatives to U.S. products ahead of a potential trade war, while highlighting homegrown products already available on their shelves.
Anyone know a good Canadian Shampoo? I spent some time trying to find one and the best I could get was l'oreal for men, French company but it isn't clear where it's made.
I'm about to order powdered shampoo and body wash from Singapore. Less mass to ship, right?
Attitude
I think Costco Kirkland shampoo is
Costco/Kirkland is a US brand, but they do sell slightly different inventory in Canada than the US, so I guess it's possible their shampoo is from a local supplier.
Good, keep going.
And dear Canadian Grocers... PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR, do not enshittify things so we regret giving you money.
There's no reason to be greedy, and we all want to make sure that our money stays in Canada. Keep providing Canadian goods, and we'll keep paying for it. It's so simple, so don't fuck this up.
Roblaws will for sure. They are greedy bastards with no spine.
London Drugs, however, seems very honest and they are showing what’s Canadian on their homepage. Even have a filter! With almost 1200 items that are Canadian already and they are interested in hearing what people would like to see on their shelves! One can email suggestions to ldonline@londondrugs.com
I'm seeing several online grocery stores now listing Canadian and local products. Stickers in store, too!
Best to check the lables, too. There are differences between "Made in Canada", "Product of Canada", "Assembled in Canada", "Packed in Canada"... Etc.
At the bare minimum, you're still supporting Canadian workers regardless of which one of those is listed on the label.
Yall can't just not buy American goods, imagine what will happen to the poor wittle US economy
Three weeks ago Loblaws did a massive special on Driscoll’s strawberries.
Last week, that supply chain seemed to be filled with Mucci’s strawberries from Ontario.
I presume they’ve been hard at work in their supply chain across the board like this, and likely aren’t alone.
