Canada Made: 10 Canadian Brands to Support Amid the US - Canada Trade War 

From cute cozy clothing to pantry staples, discover the best Canadian alternatives to shop local and show support during these tense trade times.

Thanks to Trumpster, it looks like we have a good-old fashion Trade War incoming with the US starting in February. We Canadians can respond with a powerful message: supporting local Canadian businesses. It’s time we boycott American goods and instead turn to homegrown alternatives. The brands featured in this list are proudly made in Canada—manufactured right here at home—offering quality products while supporting Canadian jobs and businesses. 

If you're ready to make the switch to Canadian-made goods, this list is just the beginning. For even more inspiration, check out the r/MadeinCanada Reddit or Made in CA, a fantastic website for finding Canadian brands across industries.
