Grocers stocking up on Canadian, international suppliers as shoppers avoid American
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.
Next quarter profits gonna be good to watch
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.
tip - Witch hazel makes terrific deodorant- and a $2 bottle i use is still half full after years (barely use any per use and its good for days, tho ymmv).
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.
Edit : I bought some shampoo and toothpaste from Green Beaver. If it ends up being good I'll probably swap to that.
A rather expensive but well performing one is Jack59. They make the only conditioner bar I've actually liked. The shampoo bar is great too but it's quite small for the price.
For cheaper options, I believe many store brands have more local packagers, but you'd have to look into each one.
I also use Unscented Company products but haven't tried their shampoo/conditioner.
Madeinca.ca lists a few others.
Their domain name should really have been madein.ca, because now it says made in caca
Attitude
I'm about to order powdered shampoo and body wash from Singapore. Less mass to ship, right?
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.
