It's confusing trying to buy Canadian with all the variations of made in, assembled in, grown in, packaged in, etc. Can we copy the Australian food labeling system, perhaps replacing the kangeroo with a maple leaf? I find this much clearer.

A community dedicated to buying Canadian. Inspired by the subreddit of the same name.
If moderators of the subreddit wish to moderate this community, just ask.
What counts as buying Canadian? Basically, it’s the idea of buying from Canadian companies, with a preference towards buying made in Canada products. However, products made ethically outside of Canada are also allowed here, as long as the company is Canadian.
