Coffee
Some of the largest coffee names are made in the U.S., such as Maxwell House, Folgers and Starbucks.
Second Cup is a Canadian retailer with cafes across the country. The company does not grow its own coffee beans, but you would still be supporting a Canadian coffee retailer.
Other brands, such as Kicking Horse coffee, are made-in-Canada options that also practice fair-trade.

Alcohol
You can ditch the American-made whiskey, such as Jack Daniels and Jim Bean, for some Canadian quality liquor. Crown Royal and J.P. Wiser’s Deluxe are both are Canadian-made whiskies.
And then you have the Canadian beer companies to choose from (albeit only brewed here), such as Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue and Alexander Keiths (not to mention all the local craft beers across the country).
If you’re a wine drinker, then you’re also in luck, as many liquor stores are stocked with provincial products from wineries in Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Quebec (to name a few).

Condiments
In 2014, Heinz closed its plant in Ontario and moved to the U.S. However, French’s is a brand that uses Canadian ingredients that you can get behind for your BBQs this summer.
Maple Syrup
The big maple syrup brands such as Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Buttersworth are American companies, but there are a lot of Canadian-made alternatives — just look for the “made in Canada” label on the bottle.

Eighty per cent of the world’s maple syrup is produced in Canada, with over 10,000 maple farms and more than 44 million maple taps, according to Statistics Canada.

Orange Juice
Minute Maid orange juice (although owned by American company Coca-Cola) is made in Peterborough, Ont., so you’re helping out Canadian market when purchasing it.

Toilet paper
Charmin, Scott and Cottonelle are the big U.S. brands for toilet paper products, but there are Canadian options.
One is Cascades, a Quebec-based tissue paper manufacturer, which operates several plants within the province and Ontario.

Yogurt
Liberté is also produced in Quebec, and has an added bonus by using local dairy.
