Goods and services produced in Canada by Canadians

As Canadians, we grew tired of the tariff battles with the US and unfair practices of other partners. In July 2018, we decided to do something about it, starting to compile a list of products and services available in Canada so you can rest easy knowing your dollars are having their maximum impact in the Canadian economy.
Just a quick FYI, I noticed quite a few listings are for products still made outside of the country, so tariffs would still apply.
In that sense, you may still be paying more and also benefiting an outside entity, too.
Just be aware of that caveat if you are truly looking for Made in Canada items.
I’m OK with that (but I’d still prefer MADE in Canada) because it still supports Canadian jobs.
Unless the products are made in the US, wouldn’t there be no tariffs for products made elsewhere?
In any case, it doesn’t make sense for things not made in Canada to be mislabeled as such
Whether or not something has tariffs depends on the type of good and where it is from. Overall it’s a complicated system. But we’ve had free trade in North America for a while now which is why there haven’t been tariffs between Canada and the US.

This is what ChatGTP says, which may or may not be true or accurate… duty and tariffs are a complex topic!
"Here are some categories of products that may have tariffs when imported into Canada from countries other than the United States:
Textiles and Apparel: Many textiles and clothing items imported from countries outside of the US may face tariffs. Footwear: Certain types of footwear can incur tariffs when imported from non-US countries. Automobiles and Auto Parts: While there are specific agreements for trade with the US, vehicles and parts from other countries may be subject to tariffs. Agricultural Products: Certain agricultural products, such as dairy, poultry, and eggs, may have tariffs when imported from non-US countries due to supply management policies. Steel and Aluminum: Tariffs may apply to steel and aluminum products imported from countries other than the US, especially if they are subject to trade restrictions. Consumer Electronics: Some electronics may have tariffs depending on their country of origin. Furniture and Home Goods: Certain furniture items may incur tariffs when imported from non-US countries."In any case, it doesn’t make sense for things not made in Canada to be mislabeled as such
For sure, I guess it also depends on how strict you are with the concept.
Some companies assemble good here, but their components are made elsewhere. Other products are made here using 100% Canadian materials or ingredients. The latter is exceedingly more difficult to find.
I couldn’t see Maison Rodin on the list under “Cutting Boards”:
At MAISON RODIN, we bring you exceptional wooden kitchen products crafted with passion and expertise, all made from high-quality Canadian materials. Our Montreal-based, 100% Canadian-owned and operated brand celebrates the rich heritage of wood in cooking and dining experiences, curating timeless products that elevate every meal.
https://ca.maisonrodin.com/FWIW, they accept user submissions.
I started paying attention to where my clothes were designed and crafted a couple of years ago, and this website has been an incredible resource for me! Highly recommend folks check it out
My only issue is this site should be filtering out anything not made in Canada. No made in china / Asia products.
Just having a Canadian office isn’t good enough. I don’t mind components sourced from Asia but should be significantly assembled here.
Agreed, but some folks are looking for that info too. It would be nice if we were able to filter based on these options.
