European here. What Canadian products are available in the EU?

I have a bunch of gold and silver maple leaf coins and I am pretty sure that there are more Canadian products available in our stores (I live in Austria).

Screw trade tariffs.

Probably actual maple syrup, I'm pretty sure we produce the most world wide by a large margin.
- Of course.

  If you ever find the maple syrup in a tin can, that's the real stuff.
- Yes Big Maple.
If you're into games, Balatro is an indie game of the year winner by a Canadian dev!
Im hoping we start trading with you guys more in the future. I think right now we dont export a lot of finished goods to Europe. I suspect most are raw materials.
Canada is primarily a resource economy because we have a lot of natural reaources and the infrastructure to move them.
Manufacturing and finished goods, less so. So maybe check into what companies use Canadian materials if youre interested in supporting Canada.
If you are into outdoor clothing Arc'teryx is Canadian!
- Not made in canada.
  Lots of canadian companies stopped making stuff in canada, yet keep putting maple leaf logos and "designed in canada" to trick us
Daiya as a dairy free alternative
- Damn I didn't know daiya was Canadian. Love that!
McCains is Canadian
Perhaps salmon or other seafood? Probably some whiskey/liquor as well.
The LitterLocker cat litter disposal system (i.e. a bin with a springloaded door, which accepts cartridges of continuous plastic bags) is Canadian, IIRC, and widely sold in Europe
A lot I presume? We have an existing trade agreement with the EU, called CETA FYI
Canadian whisky (Sam Barton)
That's about the only thing I see in stores except maple syrup
- Sortilège whisky combines the two
  Maple syrup and whisky, but not too sweet like the Crown Royal sweetened ones can be.
  Great for cocktails and coffee.
Kobo eReaders?
- Is Kobo really Canadian anymore? I still prefer them but they were bought by Rakuten years ago, right?
  
  Wikipedia still lists their head office in Toronto, at least Rakuten is Japanese if that makes it any better?
  AFAIK they're still one of the better (if not least worst) ereader options, calibre works great with them and they tie into the eBook platform used by pretty much every library I have a card with (go check your library, there's card sharing between some of them and some cities will give you a card for working there, our libraries are a treasured resource).
Canada is a leading exporter of potash, used in pretty much every fertilizer
Lentils would likely come from Canada. We are the largest producer of lentils in the world. Frozen French fries would also likely be produced in Canada (McCain and Cavendish are Canadians).
