Stick with local produce. We grow a lot in Canada.
Beans.
Nearly all the beans/legumes on store shelves are from Canada.
Nuts.
This one is difficult, especially almonds. We do have a thriving seed industry: hemp, flax, etc.
Coffee.
What coffee comes from the USA?? Canadian roasters are everywhere and they import beans from South America.
Tea.
Same as above, get your tea from Japan, China, India, etc.
Various seasonings (vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, etc)
Seasoning blends are very often from the states, but look for local blends. Or get single spices and make your own! Or go ethnic, and get spices from Asia, Mexico, etc.
Grain.
Canada grows wheat, oats, wild rice, barley, rye, etc. No issues here. Get Asian rice if your worried about rice.
Cooking oils.
We produce a lot of cooking oil in Canada. For olive oil (not really a cooking oil), go with Italian.
Sugar.
China, Brazil, and India produce more than the US. We can get it from them.
Chocolate.
Go with Swiss chocolate.
Pasta.
Plenty of made in Canada pasta. Go with Italian if you want another option.
With the exception of citrus, some processed junk food, and a few odds and ends, Canada is quite food secure.
If animal products are a concern, stop eating them. Make tarrifs your excuse to go plant-based this year 👍
Fruits and veg are the tough one. We don’t grow a whole lot of fresh green veggies in the winter. We don’t grow any citrus fruits whatsoever. We don’t grow berries in the winter.
Basically if you only eat local produce you’re going to be living entirely off preserves for half the year, the way my grandparents did a hundred years ago.
Unless of course you have a lot of space in your house to set up grow lights and grow your own greens indoors. I’m looking at that but it’s not easy to grow head lettuces like romaine that way.
every store I’ve been in puts them next to milk, followed by yogourt and cheese and above huge letters only say dairy, so maybe people assume based on that? Still odd to me that anyone would try to blanket term it with dairy
Fuck me thats a long list. Here’s a summary in the order I found them. Probably missed a few, I’m on mobile and it’s Sunday…

What firearms does the US get from Canada?
I guess I’ll just skip those items
Realizes it’s almost all food
Well shit… at least I don’t need sand anytime soon.
Keep in mind that a huge percent of food you find in Canada is made from Canadian ingredients.
The list covers every we could import, but most of those are produced in Canada, just read the labels.
I’m sure you can find food that isn’t imported from the US.
Seems like this is limited to arcade machines and playing cards.
Fair. I was tired of scrolling on a touch screen by that point. Didn’t look too closely
It took me a few minutes to figure out, too.
I got tired of scrolling after just getting to Meat, so the list is appreciated.
That seems less targeted than I had expected.
TBH I’m in favour of a full embargo. Halt trade altogether.
Eggs, milk, cheese, butter, all of it.
Eggs are not part of dairy products. Sorry.
every store I’ve been in puts them next to milk, followed by yogourt and cheese and above huge letters only say dairy, so maybe people assume based on that? Still odd to me that anyone would try to blanket term it with dairy
I always forget those are actually separate. I was taught in school that eggs were dairy and have never broken that stupid memory :/
What part of the cow do the eggs come from? 😉
The ovaries
