Pearl Milling is Canadian. I’ve been using it since the first tariff wave. It’s just as good. Yes, I’m back to turning “Product of USA” upside down.

You need to a) check to see where the product is made - your “Product of Canada” label does that part - you then need to b) check to see who owns the parent company. For example, Canadians love Habitant soups - Habitant soups are a) made in the US and b) owned by Campbells which is an American company so that one strikes out on two fronts.
It’s not easy and requires a lot of research but as you become more and more familiar with which brands are truly Canadian (i.e. - made in Canada and owned by Canadians) it becomes easier to buy Canadian.
Ethical shopping sure is exhausting. :|
Doing the right thing is seldom the easiest path, but it is the right thing to do.
A saying I heard a while ago: taking the path of least resistance is what makes rivers run crooked.
They ruined Habitant, it’s pretty terrible now, you aren’t missing out.
100 - check out Sprague if you want a relatively easily available truly Canadian soup brand - you may have to go to a few stores but they are popping up at more and more places since this all started
made in my hometown of Belleville!
We need new labels: Who is profiting from this product???
We do - we need something like Australia has where they show how Australian a product is (made there by a foreign company, made elsewhere by an Australian company, made there by an Australian company) - their labels even show the percentage of ingredients that come from Australia - we are nowhere close (yet!) to that level of transparency mostly because NAFTA and CUSMA have made it something people didn’t care about it - until now :)
Yeah, is it a Canadian or US billionaire?
