Good to know! I've been planning on experimenting with making my own meat substitutes.
Purchased some local onions instead of onions from the US, along with a few other things. Salsa from Mexico. Was a small grocery run, but my purchases would have been 15% American previously - but 0% this time.
If everyone is doing this, the numbers do start to add up quickly to a meaningful impact.
The hardest thing for our family are the digital services and social media. We are slowly cancelling Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, etc. But some things are used by my wife's business (Google, Facebook, Insta) and the just isn't a good replacement for YouTube.
Groceries are not bad thankfully. For hardware and household items, I can usually find a Canadian product if not at least Canadian made. Not being able to order to my door with Amazon is kind of an inconvenience but really we shouldn't be leaning on that anyway.
Gasoline is an unfortunate reality for us, since we don't have money for an EV right now and we need a truck to move renovation materials. And unfortunately construction supplies are sometimes a challenge to source (no way I'm going to Home Depot).
I really hope this gives Canadian industry a chance to blossom.

There's actually a full-blown refinery for diesel in Edmonton, so that's an option, at least in western Canada.
For household products, of course China is a titan, and Dyson is British which came up for me recently.
