All the stores started putting little Canada flag stickers by the price tags for made in Canada stuff. Unfortunately it does not differentiate by Canadian companies owned by American companies (like Tim Hortonโ€™s).

Personally I don't pay attention to the labels on the shelf. I look up the product origin myself and keep a list of all the non US items. I do try to buy Canadian first but I'll take European, Australian, Japanese, or other origin products. No Loblaws. Ever. I refuse to buy products from some countries due to current matters occuring elsewhere on the planet ...
