Made in Canada products: A complete guide to buying Canadian brands at the grocery store — food, drinks and more
'I fully intend to buy Canadian and leave American products on the shelves. Most people I know, as well as my family members, are all insisting that they will continue to restrict their purchases to Canadian products even if Trump does not impose tariffs,' a Yahoo Canada reader said earlier this year via e-mail. 'The threat of the punitive tariffs is enough. I will never buy American."
'One option to push back on our American bullies is when we can't find a Canadian alternative, to buy Mexican in solidarity with our true allies — especially when it comes to our groceries," said another. "Failing that, [we can] buy anything other than American - we have lots of choices."
"I was always conscientious about Canadian products but now I'm going to be laser-focused on it especially at the grocery store,' a Yahoo Canada reader said.

By shopping Canadian products and brands, consumers in Canada are exempt from tariffs, which means potentially saving money. Plus, there's the added benefit of supporting Canadian manufacturers who may be impacted by the U.S. import tariffs.
Some grocery stores have opted to label Canadian made products with a Canadian flag next to its price tag to help conscious shoppers. Here are some other ways to tell if a product is made in Canada:
Look for a "Product of Canada" label
This label means that approximately 98 per cent of ingredients, processing and labour used to produce the product areCanadian. According to the Government of Canada, products that claim to be "Canadian" are considered the same as "Product of Canada."Check for "Made in Canada" labels
When products are labelled as "Made in Canada" it means that a majority of the product's last substantial transformation occurred in Canada. A substantial transformation of a product would include combining ingredients to create a new product. For example, ingredients like eggs, sugar and butter undergo a substantial transformation to produce cookies.
A product can also have a "Made in Canada" label if a majority (at least 51 per cent) of the costs incurred in manufacturing or producing the goods were incurred in Canada even if some ingredients are from other countries.
Some packages may include qualifiers to ensure that the consumer knows some ingredients were imported from other countries.
Examples of qualifiers can include:
Distilled in Canada
Refined in Canada
Packaged in Canada
Processed in Canada
Look for 100% claims
All ingredients, processing and labour for the product (and all of its components) are from Canada.
If you're someone choosing to shop consciously given the tariffs, we've gathered a helpful list of Canadian brands and those manufactured in Canada to help you on your next grocery shop.

White House suggests some countries could see tariff deadline shifted
Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers Stephen Miran said that some countries that are negotiating with the United States in good faith could see tariffs delayed as President Donald Trump's deadline to strike trade deals closes in. Speaking with ABC News' "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos, Miran hedged on what deals are in the works. 'On tariffs, the president's deadline is approaching for the deals. You've only seen three deals so far. What should we expect next?' Stephanopoulos asked. 'I'm still optimistic that we're going to get a number of deals later this week. Part of that is because all the negotiating goes through a series of steps that lead to a culmination timed with the deadline,' Miran said. Pressed on if these other deals fail to come through and if Trump would extend the deadline, Miran indicated that could be possible. 'Well, my expectation would be that countries that are negotiating in good faith and making the concessions that they need to get to a deal, but the deal is just not there yet because it needs more time, my expectation will be that those countries get a roll, you know, sort of get the date rolled,' he said. Asked which countries could see that date shifted, Miran refused to elaborate, but said that he has heard good things about talks with Europe and India. 'I would expect that a number of countries that are in the process of making those concessions, you know, they might see their date rolled. For the countries that aren't making concessions, for the countries that aren't negotiating in good faith, I would expect them to sort of see higher tariffs,' Miran said. 'But again, the president will decide later this week and in the time following whether or not the countries are doing what it takes to get access to the American market like they've grown accustomed to.' Stephanopolous was also joined by former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who balked at the potential economic benefits of Trump's tariffs. 'It probably will collect some revenue at the cost of higher inflation for American consumers, less competitiveness for American producers," Summers said. 'So higher prices, less competitiveness, and not really that much revenue relative to what's being given to the very wealthy in this bill.' This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

More than 200 S&P 500 companies scrubbed 'diversity' and 'equity' from annual reports in 2025
More than 200 S&P 500 (^GSPC) companies scrubbed words such as "diversity" and "equity" from their annual reports in 2025, according to Freshfields, a law firm and data provider, and nearly 60% fewer S&P 500 companies are using the phrase "diversity, equity, and inclusion." These new counts provided by Freshfields reinforce a widening corporate retreat from DEI this year after scrutiny of diversity policies intensified in Washington, D.C. On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order ending federal DEI programs and ordering US agencies to "combat illegal private sector DEI actions." Some big companies, including Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Meta (META), McDonald's (MCD), Amazon (AMZN), JPMorgan (JPM), Target (TGT), and Tractor Supply (TSCO), have proactively announced about-faces on their diversity policies. Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton told Yahoo Finance last month that the company's goal in changing its DEI policies was to "remove" itself "from any sort of discourse that people viewed to be political or social in its orientation." Many are also swapping out words such as 'diversity" and "equity' from their annual reports and instead using terms like inclusion, belonging, and meritocratic workplace. "We're observing a shift in language," ISS-Corporate executive director Kosmas Papadoupoulos said. Bank of America (BAC) and BlackRock (BLK) were among the firms on Wall Street that made such changes. Bank of America removed all eight references to "diversity and inclusion" in its report filed in February, compared with its filing the year before. In several places, the nation's second-largest bank replaced "diversity" with "opportunity," including renaming the diversity and inclusion group within its human resources department the opportunity and inclusion group. BlackRock, the world's largest money manager, also removed four references to "diversity" in its latest annual report, including replacing a section titled "diversity, equity and inclusion" with one called "connectivity and inclusivity." JPMorgan Chase has also dropped almost all mentions of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" from its annual report and rebranded its diversity programs to "opportunity" initiatives. What's not happening so far in 2025 is any shareholder support for DEI changes of any type, for or against. None of this season's investor-led DEI-focused proposals that went to a vote received majority shareholder approval, though the percentage of "anti-DEI" filings compared to "pro-DEI" filings has jumped in recent years. Support across DEI proposals for S&P 500 firms hovered between 0.1% to 43.9%, Freshfields found, with support for proposals opposed to DEI below 2%. Freshfields and other firms that track the measures identify anti-DEI measures as those that are skeptical of the initiatives and have an end goal to curtail or eliminate them. Pro-DEI proposals, on the other hand, are considered those that preserve or enhance a company's focus on the initiatives. This year, 57 S&P 500 companies faced 65 DEI-related measures, 26 of which were anti-DEI measures. Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a shareholder advocacy nonprofit that promotes environmental and social justice issues, called this year's DEI campaigns "triumphant" based on shareholders' rejection of anti-DEI measures. That included defeats for anti-DEI measures proposed at major US companies like Apple (AAPL), Goldman Sachs (GS), Costco (COST), Levi Strauss (LEVI), Deere (DE), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B), and Disney (DIS). Softer language added to corporate filings may help avoid the ire of Trump's executive orders, Behar said, but additional factors are influencing DEI, such as the SEC's updated guidance in February that makes it easier for companies to exclude shareholder proposals, particularly those related to social issues. Prior guidelines required the SEC to consider a proposal's "broad societal impact" when reviewing a company's "no-action requests" that can keep proposals off their voting agendas. New guidance instead says the SEC can consider a company's particular facts and circumstances. On top of that, there's a lot of uncertainty for companies that are federal contractors, Behar said, after the US Supreme Court ruled that federal district courts lack authority to issue nationwide injunctions. A district court in Maryland issued an order enjoining Trump's DEI executive order, but the Fourth Circuit appellate court ruled that the order could stand but applies only to contractors' DEI programs that violate federal antidiscrimination laws. "As of Friday, now ... nobody knows what to do," Behar said. Click here for in-depth analysis of the latest stock market news and events moving stock prices

US close to several trade deals, announcements to be made in next days, Bessent says
By Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is close to clinching several trade deals ahead of a July 9 deadline when higher tariffs kick in, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday, predicting several big announcements in coming days. Bessent told CNN's "State of the Union" the Trump administration would also send out letters to 100 smaller countries with whom the U.S. doesn't have much trade, notifying them that they would face higher tariff rates first set on April 2 and then suspended until July 9. "President Trump's going to be sending letters to some of our trading partners saying that if you don't move things along, then on August 1 you will boomerang back to your April 2 tariff level. So I think we're going to see a lot of deals very quickly," Bessent said. Bessent denied that August 1 was a new deadline for negotiations. "We are saying this is when it's happening. If you want to speed things up, have at it. If you want to go back to the old rate, that's your choice," he told CNN. The U.S. Treasury chief said the Trump administration was focused on 18 important trading partners that account for 95% of the U.S. trade deficit. But he said there had been "a lot of foot-dragging" among countries in getting closure on a trade deal. He declined to name countries that were close to a trade agreement, adding, "because I don't want to let them off the hook." Trump has repeatedly said India is close to signing a deal and expressed hope that an agreement could be reached with the European Union, while casting doubt on a deal with Japan. Since taking office, the U.S. president has set off a global trade war that has upended financial markets and sent policymakers scrambling to guard their economies, including through deals with the U.S. and other countries. Trump on April 2 announced a 10% base tariff rate and additional amounts for most countries, some ranging as high as 50%. The news roiled financial markets, prompting Trump to suspend all but the 10% base rate for 90 days to allow more time for negotiations to secure deals, but the process has proven more challenging than expected. That period ends on July 9, although Trump early on Friday said the tariffs could be even higher - ranging up to 70% - with most set to go into effect August 1. Bessent, asked about the 70% rate, referred back to the April 2 list, but that did not include such high rates. Sign in to access your portfolio
