From news headlines to family group chats, the potential US tariffs have been top of mind since the news broke. Tensions are high among politicians and Canadians, but so is the “buy Canadian” sentiment. Support for products and brands “made in Canada” is at an all-time high.
While the list of affected goods from the US is nothing but massive and scary, many Canadian brands are also emerging during this contentious time. There’s never been a better time to support locally owned and manufactured products – including furniture and home goods. You can find many resources online that highlight Canadian companies across sectors, but here are a few of our favourites.
