I realized that we make incredibly little here in Canada.
I watch the show Shark Tank (US), and they ALWAYS push for “make it in China to bring down prices”, like it’s only about price.
We have the same mindset here in Canada, so products that could/should be made here are produced in China, and then shipped here (how’s that carbon footprint, now, eh?).
I also do my best to buy Made in Canada items. It hurts the wallet for sure to be paying 5-10x more for something. I only hope that it matters.

Yeah, I think Canadians need to consume less overall, but consume more Canadian products.
