For mayonnaise, if you’re in Quebec, I strongly recommend MAG.

Wait, what do you mean YOPLAIT?!? That brand still exists? I remember seeing it in Spain during the early 90s and then disappearing there. I thought it was a Spanish brand since I haven't seen it outside that country. TIL.

Yoplait was the gourmet stuff we couldn't afford back in the 80's

Yeah but also fuck the PC brand they've been gouging Canadians too.

Just steal the PC stuff. Rob Loblaws.

As someone in the US, I will be avoiding large US brands as much as possible as well. All the pain that nazi cockgoblin has and is going to cause makes me really sad.

I will always check the origin of a product. EU, USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are always a go. Now I will look a bit closer and make an effort to avoid the shithole red states.

Tim Hortons? I thought that was owned by the taco bell conglomerate?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Timmie's is owned by Restaurant Brands International, who owns Popeye's and Burger King. They're Brazilian now.

Cool to see some brands I already use on here. Speaking of, I kinda thought everyone used Sun-Rype for their juice anyway. I mean, I am biased as I've been by their HQ multiple times so it just feels natural to buy their brand, but still.

What part of Canada was this list created for?

Interesting… from that list, the only US thing I currently buy is French’s mustard.

However, I’m still trying to figure out how to boycott US produce — Washington apples and Florida oranges, and all the other stuff Loblaw’s stocks even though there are Canadian and International alternatives.

Maybe Loblaw’s (and the local markets) will start providing more local and South American options now….

Yay for Canada! All of those US brands, not one in my home. You’ll be better off without them.

As an American I really miss Liberté yogurt, its been over a decade since I saw it in stores.

Bonus points if you buy any direct from Mexico foods.

Having refried bean enchiladas for dinner tonight with Costena beans and enchilada sauce actually. I usually go to the local Latino market a few times a month too.
