I'm only buying European products, and even got some Canadian stuff. No US products at all. Ditched all meta, amazon, google, disney. Hope the US economy is going to take more hard hits, so people realise the Orange Toddler needs to go

I'm curious what Canadian stuff made its way to you. I think one thing that should be a more well known thing is Honey Dill Sauce. Yum!

Not OP, but one thing that is kind-of a luxury here is maple syrup, which I buy infrequently as a treat - but so far, I had always bought the cheapest (US) variant I found here in Europe. Seeing that I buy it so infrequently anyway, I will go for a more premium Canadian one for sure next time I buy some.

It's kind of a luxury here in Canada, too, honestly. It's expensive!

That seems to be regional.

Perhaps there’s some interprovincial barriers that we’re not aware of.

Growing up on the west coast, real maple syrup was a luxury.

Where we are now in Eastern Ontario, we buy it by the litre or even by the case. Our teens pour it freely all over their plates.

We use the medium or amber at the table, and the darkest we can get for baking.
