As Trump ends all trade talks with Canada, here's a complete guide to buying Canadian brands at the grocery store — food, drinks and more
Donald Trump has planned to end all trade discussions with Canada, hitting back at Ottawa for its digital services tax on web giants. The U.S. president indicated on Friday he wants the tax removed before he resumes negotiations, amidst the two countries being locked in talks as Canada tries to get him to lift his tariffs on Canadian goods.
"It's not going to work out well for Canada. They were foolish to do it," Trump said from the Oval Office on June 27 about the digital services tax, adding the U.S. has "such power over Canada." During the G7 earlier this month, Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed they'd reach some agreement on the trade dispute within 30 days, according to CBC News.
"We're going to stop all negotiations with Canada right now until they straighten out their act," Trump added, explaining if Ottawa removes the tax, which went into law last year, he'll be satisfied.
"They will," he said. "They do most of their business with us. When you have that circumstance, you treat people better."
After months of navigating tariffs and subsequent price increases, many Canadians are still choosing to put their money behind homegrown and manufactured goods. In a recent Yahoo Canada poll, a whopping 95 per cent of 10,000 readers indicated they want to buy Canadian products whenever possible, while only four per cent said the issue didn't concern them.
"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.

Trump's tariffs require companies importing products from Canada to pay a 25 per cent fee to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which then goes to the General Fund of the United States. Once importing companies pay tariffs, they will likely adjust their retail prices to recoup the funds, making Canadian products more expensive for Americans.
In order to maintain sales, Canadian manufacturers could potentially lower their sale prices to entice American importers and offset the impact of the tariff that the American company will have to pay.
Similarly, products imported from the U.S. into Canada will require Canadian importers to pay retaliatory tariffs, which could push companies to raise their prices on imported goods.
Essentially, tariffs mean that both Canadians and Americans would be paying more on imported products, which could influence consumers' buying decisions or impact importing and exporting.
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.

Bitcoin Soars, Altcoins Fade in $300 Billion Crypto Shakeout
(Bloomberg) -- On the face of it, 2025 looks like a banner year for crypto: Bitcoin hitting a record, an industry-boosting US president whose family is venturing headlong into the sector, and key legislation widely expected to be passed by Congress. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sao Paulo Pushes Out Favela Residents, Drug Users to Revive Its City Center Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown But look beyond the bullish headlines and the rally in Bitcoin, and a vastly different landscape comes into view. Most of the so-called altcoins once touted as competitors to the original cryptoasset are nursing steep declines, with more than $300 billion of market value wiped out so far this year. The sea of red points to a wider malaise that's forcing parts of the industry to confront existential questions. Crypto was imagined by early enthusiasts as a universe where a host of coins competed for investor money, offering a diverse set of use cases. But as Bitcoin reigns supreme, that's giving way to predictions that large swathes of the sector will become a digital wasteland. 'I think they're just going to die, frankly,' Nick Philpott, co-founder of trading platform Zodia Markets, said of altcoins. 'They'll just wither away. Technically, a lot of this stuff will just sit there and gather dust in perpetuity.' Bitcoin's share of the total market value of cryptoassets has climbed by nine percentage points this year to 64%, the highest since January 2021, according to CoinMarketCap. Back then, cryptocurrencies were a largely unregulated space, crypto lending was roaring with few safeguards and nonfungible tokens were just starting to take off. In sharp contrast, altcoins — the catch-all term for all digital assets outside of Bitcoin and stablecoins — are faltering. A MarketVector index tracking the bottom half of the largest 100 digital assets, which more than doubled in the aftermath of Donald Trump's Nov. 5 election victory, has since given up all those gains and is down around 50% in 2025. With Bitcoin soaking up the bulk of capital flows from investors in exchange-traded funds, other parts of the market are increasingly left behind. Even Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, remains about 50% below its all-time high after a modest rebound fueled by inflows to spot ETFs investing in the token. 'Historically, Bitcoin's moved and then that's passed down into altcoins,' said Jake Ostrovskis, an OTC trader at Wintermute. 'We've not really seen that yet this cycle.' Crypto is no stranger to mass extinction events. The 2022 market crash, punctuated by the implosions of algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD and Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX exchange, led to the demise of hundreds of projects. Thousands of coins still exist on their blockchains, with little or no activity — relegated to the status of 'ghost chains' in crypto parlance. What's different this time is that crypto is becoming a more regulated, institutionally-driven marketplace, and that stablecoins appear to be the only tokens with a real shot at achieving means-of-payment status, due to the fact that they eliminate volatility. In the past year alone, the market value of stablecoins has swelled by $47 billion, and some of the world's largest banks are entering the field. The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Inc. is studying a potential stablecoin. That's putting pressure on altcoin projects to find ways to shore up their status and appeal to a wider base of investors. 'I've talked to a couple of projects that have been thinking about merging foundations, putting it up for governance, saying, 'Hey, we can now be governed under this other authority' — that authority being another altcoin community,' said Kanyi Maqubela, managing partner at venture capital firm Kindred Ventures. The shifting tides are also reflected in corporate behavior. Modeled on Michael Saylor's Strategy, a new breed of Bitcoin accumulators has emerged. In April, a special-purpose acquisition company affiliated with Cantor Fitzgerald LP partnered with Tether Holdings SA and SoftBank to launch Twenty One Capital Inc., seeded with nearly $4 billion in Bitcoin. The Trump family, which is also getting involved in Bitcoin mining, has raised $2.3 billion via Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. to create a Bitcoin treasury. While similar vehicles have been set up recently to accumulate smaller tokens like Ether, Solana and BNB, they are much smaller. Glimmers of Hope Not all altcoins are floundering. Tokens like Maker and Hyperliquid that are linked to thriving decentralized-finance protocols have notched big gains this year. 'There's certainly a subset of the market doing incredibly well — generally companies with real businesses, real revenues, and those revenues are being used to buy back tokens,' said Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer of digital asset investment firm Arca. There's also the prospect of more favorable regulations. The potential for US Securities and Exchange Commission approval of ETFs backed by coins like Solana are stirring hopes of wider adoption. Another possible catalyst is the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, informally referred to as crypto's market structure bill. The CLARITY Act aims to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework, including delineating responsibilities between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the SEC. 'The Clarity Act has the potential to do for altcoins what ETFs did for Bitcoin and Ethereum: provide the regulatory legitimacy that unlocks real institutional capital,' said Ira Auerbach, a senior executive at Offchain Labs. Yet according to Maqubela, the issue ultimately boils down to utility. He compares Bitcoin to gold and Ether to copper — the former has a capped final supply and the latter's blockchain underpins much of crypto's functionality — and says most altcoins are stuck in a sort of twilight zone, underpinned by big promises and not much else. 'I think a lot of them are going to whittle down to zero because they were driven by speculation without that mimetic value like Bitcoin, and they tried to be utilitarian without achieving any real scale,' he said.

Trump Family Member Reportedly 'Seriously Considering' Run For Senate
Another Trump could soon be on the ballot. Fox News host Lara Trump — the daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump — is 'seriously considering a bid' to replace retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) in her native state of North Carolina, NOTUS reported this weekend. NBC News' Vaughn Hillyard wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that a source close to the Trump family said Lara, who is married to Trump scion Eric, is 'strongly considering jumping in the race.' 'I'd put it as high as one could be considering it…The race will be over before it begins,' they reportedly added. Tillis, who has come under fire from the president for his criticism of his so-called Big, Beautiful Bill, announced on Sunday that he won't seek reelection in 2026. The lawmaker explained: 'As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven't exactly been excited about running for another term. That is true since the choice is between spending another six years navigating the political theater and partisan gridlock in Washington or spending that time with the love of my life Susan, our two children, three beautiful grandchildren, and the rest of our extended family back home. It's not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking re-election.' Lara Trump was previously linked to a Senate run in 2020, for North Carolina, and in 2024, for Florida. Last year, she briefly served as the former co-chair of the Republican National Committee. She now hosts 'My View With Lara Trump' on weekends.

Trump admin live updates: Senate to begin 'One Big Beautiful Bill' vote-a-rama Monday
The Senate on Sunday afternoon began debate on President Donald Trump's megabill for his second term priorities after a dramatic procedural vote late Saturday night. There could be up to 20 hours of debate. While Democrats will use their allotted 10 hours, Republicans are expected not to. The Senate will begin its "vote-a-rama" at 9 a.m. Monday, during which time senators will offer amendments to the bill. Overnight Sunday, the Senate parliamentarian ruled more provisions out of order with the reconciliation process Republicans are using to pass the bill with a simple majority. If it passes in the Senate, the bill goes back to the House to consider changes the Senate made to the House's version of the bill, which passed by one vote.
