Made in Canada products: A complete guide to buying Canadian brands at the grocery store — food, drinks and more
'I fully intend to buy Canadian and leave American products on the shelves. Most people I know, as well as my family members, are all insisting that they will continue to restrict their purchases to Canadian products even if Trump does not impose tariffs,' a Yahoo Canada reader said earlier this year via e-mail. 'The threat of the punitive tariffs is enough. I will never buy American."
'One option to push back on our American bullies is when we can't find a Canadian alternative, to buy Mexican in solidarity with our true allies — especially when it comes to our groceries," said another. "Failing that, [we can] buy anything other than American - we have lots of choices."
"I was always conscientious about Canadian products but now I'm going to be laser-focused on it especially at the grocery store,' a Yahoo Canada reader said.

By shopping Canadian products and brands, consumers in Canada are exempt from tariffs, which means potentially saving money. Plus, there's the added benefit of supporting Canadian manufacturers who may be impacted by the U.S. import tariffs.
Some grocery stores have opted to label Canadian made products with a Canadian flag next to its price tag to help conscious shoppers. Here are some other ways to tell if a product is made in Canada:
Look for a "Product of Canada" label
This label means that approximately 98 per cent of ingredients, processing and labour used to produce the product areCanadian. According to the Government of Canada, products that claim to be "Canadian" are considered the same as "Product of Canada."Check for "Made in Canada" labels
When products are labelled as "Made in Canada" it means that a majority of the product's last substantial transformation occurred in Canada. A substantial transformation of a product would include combining ingredients to create a new product. For example, ingredients like eggs, sugar and butter undergo a substantial transformation to produce cookies.
A product can also have a "Made in Canada" label if a majority (at least 51 per cent) of the costs incurred in manufacturing or producing the goods were incurred in Canada even if some ingredients are from other countries.
Some packages may include qualifiers to ensure that the consumer knows some ingredients were imported from other countries.
Examples of qualifiers can include:
Distilled in Canada
Refined in Canada
Packaged in Canada
Processed in Canada
Look for 100% claims
All ingredients, processing and labour for the product (and all of its components) are from Canada.
If you're someone choosing to shop consciously given the tariffs, we've gathered a helpful list of Canadian brands and those manufactured in Canada to help you on your next grocery shop.

Microsoft Sued For Killing Windows 10—All Users Must Act Now
Microsoft knows 'many millions of users will not buy new devices or pay for extended support' when Windows 10 goes end of life in October, a new lawsuit alleges. 'These users,' it claims, 'will be at a heightened risk of a cyberattack or other data security incident, a reality of which Microsoft is well aware.' The lawsuit filed in California by Lawrence Klein, the owner of two Windows 10 laptops set to become obsolete in 8 weeks, 'seeks injunctive relief requiring Microsoft to continue providing support for Windows 10 without additional fees or conditions until the number of devices running the operating system falls below a reasonable threshold.' Around 45% of all Windows users are still on the soon to be obsolete version of the OS and must now act to ensure PCs are safe from attack. That number was dropping, albeit it has seen a reverse following Microsoft's decision to offer varying support extensions. That means 700 million users will be affected come October 14. Klein says Microsoft decided to kill the older OS when 'Windows 10 users represented more than half of the Windows operating system (OS) market share.' He also references the 240 million PCs that cannot upgrade, 'forcing' users to 'buy new devices capable of running Windows 11 or pay unanticipated sums for extended support.' Putting upgrade costs aside, the security risks are clear. Microsoft's 'long-term business strategy' Klein says, 'will have the effect of jeopardizing data security not only of Microsoft's customers but also of persons who may not use Microsoft's products at all.' Windows 10 users can now extend support by paying between $30 and $60 or by for free subject to certain parameters. That support extension is available to all Windows 10 users, whether or not their PCs meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11. Arguably, a better solution would be to extend Windows 10 support for free for PCs that can't upgrade, while mandating the upgrade for those that can. This lawsuit is the latest twist in a the windy road Windows 10 users have followed for the last year. Klein claims Microsoft's primary intent in killing Windows 10 is ' to force its customers to purchase new devices optimized to run Microsoft's suite of generative AI software such as Copilot, which comes bundled with Windows 11 by default.' This approach, Klein's lawsuit says, has the 'inevitable effect of decreasing trade in generative AI products of Microsoft's competitors, increasing the barriers to entry in the generative AI market, and dampening innovation and consumer choice.' Klein wants Windows 10 to be supported until less than 10% of the Windows user base is using that version of the OS. That means more than 600 million more PCs upgrading to Windows 11. That will take some considerable time. I have approached Microsoft for any response to the lawsuit.

Russians cheer Putin's Alaska invitation, envision no concessions on Ukraine
MOSCOW — Russian officials and commentators crowed about landing a summit between President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump on Friday in Alaska, the first time the Russian leader has been invited to the United States outside the United Nations since 2007 — and apparently without the Kremlin having made any clear concessions over its war in Ukraine. European and Ukrainian officials, meanwhile, were scrambling to understand and respond to the administration's sudden reversal. Days before announcing the summit this past Friday, Trump was expressing frustration over Putin's continued bombardment of Ukrainian sanctions and threatening to ratchet up sanctions on Russia. Russia's special economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev, a key interlocutor between the Kremlin and the Trump administration, said the decision to hold the summit in Alaska was symbolically important for the U.S.-Russian partnership. The United States purchased the territory from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million, or about 2 cents per acre. 'Born as Russian America — Orthodox roots, forts, fur trade — Alaska echoes those ties and makes the U.S. an Arctic nation,' Dmitriev wrote on X. Billionaire Konstantin Malofeyev, sanctioned by the Obama administration for funding pro-Kremlin separatists in Ukraine and interfering with elections in several countries, said Alaskans 'respectfully remember their Russian past and their Orthodox present.' Russian military bloggers also celebrated, while tempering expectations. 'The meeting in Alaska has every chance to become historic,' wrote pro-Kremlin war correspondent Alexander Kots on his channel on the Telegram messaging app. 'That is, of course, if the West does not try to pull off another scheme.' Western analysts said Trump should tread carefully. 'Trump has chosen to host Putin in a part of the former Russian Empire,' Michael McFaul, an Obama-era U.S. ambassador to Russia, wrote on X. 'Wonder if he knows that Russian nationalists claim that losing Alaska, like Ukraine, was a raw deal for Moscow that needs to be corrected.' Sam Greene, professor in Russian politics at King's College London, said the venue favored Russia. 'The symbolism of holding the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska is horrendous — as though designed to demonstrate that borders can change, land can be bought and sold,' Greene said. 'Never mind that mainstream Russian discourse maintains a claim that Alaska should be returned to Russia.' A key difference: Czar Alexander II offered to sell Alaska. Putin has seized Ukrainian territory by force, illegally annexing Crimea in 2014 and launching the full invasion and illegally claiming to annex four other Ukrainian regions in 2022. Trump has often expressed admiration for Putin. But in recent weeks, Trump has complained about the Russian leader's resistance to the full and unconditional ceasefire that Ukraine and its allies have demanded before any peace talks. Russian analysts said it was clear that Trump had swerved first in agreeing to the meeting. It was unlikely, they said, that the Kremlin had dropped its ultimate goals for Ukraine — demilitarization, the installation of a pro-Russian regime and neutral status outside NATO. Trump 'didn't want to fall into confrontation with Russia,' said Tatiana Stanovaya, a senior fellow with the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center. 'Trump himself said that further sanctions probably wouldn't force Putin to change his mind. We could see from these signals that Trump could be open to a new attempt, and he did so just days before the end of his ultimatum.' A former senior Kremlin official said Russia was moving toward compromise by signaling it was ready for a ceasefire. 'Politically it is easier [for the Kremlin] to continue the war until Ukraine's final collapse than to make peace,' said the former official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter. 'This is why they are clinging on to the idea that there needs to be a temporary but not permanent truce — and then in the meantime [Ukrainian] elections can be conducted.' The Kremlin has long sought to dominate Ukraine through the election of a friendly president and parliament in Kyiv. Ukrainians have repeatedly taken to the streets to demand a free and democratic future in the European Union. Ukrainian and European officials met with Vice President JD Vance on Saturday in an attempt to agree on a response to a Russian ceasefire proposal. Details of the proposal were unclear. One person briefed on the talks said Russia had proposed that Kyiv relinquish Donbas in eastern Ukraine, which includes the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, in exchange for a ceasefire. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations. The Kremlin is not willing to give back territory in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, where Russian military gains have secured Moscow's prized land bridge to Crimea, the person said. European leaders issued a statement following the talks with Vance, saying a ceasefire should be a precondition for negotiations, not a Russian bargaining chip. Trump told reporters Friday that the Kremlin proposal involved 'some swapping of territories to the betterment of both' countries. Russian analysts said Putin would not agree to withdraw forces from Kherson or Zaporizhzhia, regions Russia illegally annexed in 2022 but still does not fully control. 'Russian troops are not going to make any step backward,' said Sergei Markov, a pro-Kremlin analyst. The only compromise Russia would make, he said, would be to halt its military campaign to seize the Odesa and Kharkiv regions and the cities of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, which remain under Ukrainian control. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated Saturday that he would not accept any deal that involved giving territory to Russia, which he said was forbidden by Ukraine's constitution. It's not clear whether the Russian proposal included any guarantee Moscow wouldn't simply resume fighting. The Kremlin has insisted that any agreement address what it calls the 'root causes' of the conflict by demilitarizing Ukraine and changing its government. 'There are no guarantees,' said Markov, the pro-Kremlin analyst. 'But there are also no guarantees that Ukraine won't begin the war again.' Russia's main interest in the summit, he said, was to cast Ukraine and Europe as obstacles to Trump's dream of brokering peace. 'Russia hopes that Trump will finally become sensible and see that Zelensky is the main reason for the war that is happening now, and that the second reason for the war is European leaders … and that they are his enemies too,' Markov said. Trump will see that 'Putin is one of his few good political friends.' Janis Kluge, deputy head of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, said Putin's proposal was 'itself part of the war.' 'It's just a temporary ceasefire in exchange for land,' Kluge said. 'It is meant to give Putin an advantage in the longer run against Ukraine and the West.'
