A few days with these American tariffs, and it turns out it's easier to buy Canadian than I thought.
The tariff beef (or I guess you could call it a trade war) between Canada and the US is still an ongoing source of tension. Because of this, tons of us Canadians are committed to boycotting American goods.

A few days ago, I shared a list of Canadian brands that people swear are better than American ones. And TONS of Canadians left more wonderful suggestions in the comments! So without further ado, here are even more Canadian brands that put American ones to shame:
1. "Province of Canada is an apparel company owned and operated in Toronto. 100% of their products are manufactured within Canada. The brand emphasizes the importance of local manufacturing, pride in supporting Canadian and a sustainable mission to use as much natural materials in the slow fashion process."
"They also have a one-for-one sock program, where they donate a pair of socks to shelters for every pair sold."
