Unlike at the grocery store, where "made in Canada" labelling is made clear, the origins of fashion, beauty, personal care and home brands can be difficult to decipher. Is "made in Canada" the same as "based in Canada?" What about a Canadian brand no longer 100 per cent Canadian-owned, like Hudson's Bay and Tim Hortons? To satisfy a "Product of Canada" claim, Canada's Competition Bureau requires non-food products to meet a "higher threshold of Canadian content" (98 per cent). "Made in Canada" claims are subject to a 51 per cent threshold of Canadian content "but should be accompanied by a qualifying statement indicating that the product contains imported content." When a brand is based in Canada or owned/designed by Canadians, that doesn't automatically mean it's made in Canada. Shoppers still choose to support a Canadian-owned or founded business, but its manufacturing may occur overseas. That said, buying from online and brick-and-mortar Canadian retailers can help support Canadian workers, too. Roots, for example, is no longer completely Canadian-owned, but its leather goods are still hand-crafted in Toronto, Ont.
