      • Various fruit+veg.

      Stick with local produce. We grow a lot in Canada.

      • Beans.

      Nearly all the beans/legumes on store shelves are from Canada.

      • Nuts.

      This one is difficult, especially almonds. We do have a thriving seed industry: hemp, flax, etc.

      • Coffee.

      What coffee comes from the USA?? Canadian roasters are everywhere and they import beans from South America.

      • Tea.

      Same as above, get your tea from Japan, China, India, etc.

      • Various seasonings (vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, etc)

      Seasoning blends are very often from the states, but look for local blends. Or get single spices and make your own! Or go ethnic, and get spices from Asia, Mexico, etc.

      • Grain.

      Canada grows wheat, oats, wild rice, barley, rye, etc. No issues here. Get Asian rice if your worried about rice.

      • Cooking oils.

      We produce a lot of cooking oil in Canada. For olive oil (not really a cooking oil), go with Italian.

      • Sugar.

      China, Brazil, and India produce more than the US. We can get it from them.

      • Chocolate.

      Go with Swiss chocolate.

      • Pasta.

      Plenty of made in Canada pasta. Go with Italian if you want another option.

      With the exception of citrus, some processed junk food, and a few odds and ends, Canada is quite food secure.

      If animal products are a concern, stop eating them. Make tarrifs your excuse to go plant-based this year 👍

        Keep in mind that a huge percent of food you find in Canada is made from Canadian ingredients.

        The list covers every we could import, but most of those are produced in Canada, just read the labels.

        I’m sure you can find food that isn’t imported from the US.

      Video game consoles

      Seems like this is limited to arcade machines and playing cards.

      • Other games, operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by other means of payment, other than automatic bowling alley equipment

      • Playing cards

        Fair. I was tired of scrolling on a touch screen by that point. Didn’t look too closely

          It took me a few minutes to figure out, too.

          I got tired of scrolling after just getting to Meat, so the list is appreciated.

        TBH I’m in favour of a full embargo. Halt trade altogether.

            every store I’ve been in puts them next to milk, followed by yogourt and cheese and above huge letters only say dairy, so maybe people assume based on that? Still odd to me that anyone would try to blanket term it with dairy

            I always forget those are actually separate. I was taught in school that eggs were dairy and have never broken that stupid memory :/
