What is your favourite Canadian made products?

Neat! I’m seeing between 35-55% of crops used to feed livestock (Canadian, Europe) and in the US it’s 70-80%

Hard times ahead!
If you are able, start buying from your local farmers markets, growing a gardening, learn to preserve foods, and commit to purchasing more Canadian made goods at your local grocery store.
