Food is the easiest one to be honest. Most processed food has been consolidated in big companies over the years, so you really can't avoid them - but even the Nestle's + Pepsi of the world still have to build factories in Canada for supply chain + regulatory reasons. Even buying a bag of Lays chips (made by PepsiCo) still means you're buying something made nearby (in Cambridge to be precise). It just depends on whether or not you want to buy 100% Canadian-owned, or buy Canadian-made. It's quite easy to by Canadian-made if you make only a few small compromises - but sticking to 100% canadian-owned is going to be difficult.
Because of the supply chain in agriculture, you can be certain that a majority of your food ingredients will also be Canadian. Other consumer goods like electronics and cars and pharmaceuticals are so much more difficult to research and find alternatives.
Either way, the relationship with the US is forever tarnished to millions of us. Don't travel there, don't buy their useless digital subscriptions, just move on and really learn to enjoy your actual nearby community more than we all used to.
