As a Canadian who does the shopping for my family, it's so easy and imperative to not buy American. It just isn't safe. It hasn't been safe for a long time, but now its just outrageously dangerous.
What do you do for lettuce and broccoli? I'm struggling to find lettuce that isn't from the USA.
I keep an eye out, Ontario grows a lot of greenhouse stuff. When I can't find local I look for Mexican. If there is US only, I do without. Let it all rot.
Find a local farmers market. Guaranteed fresher product. Locally grown so less travel. Support a small business. Get a much better greens experience.
My local grocery store has been carrying Alberta greenhouse grown lettuce and cucumbers, and Manitoba greenhouse tomatoes for over a year.
