Canadians are turning to 'Made in Canada' goods, and complaints about mislabelling are surging
Briefly

Amid President Trump's tariff threats and comments about Canada becoming the '51st state,' there has been a notable rise in demand for Canadian-made products. This shift has coincided with a substantial increase in complaints regarding mislabeling of country-of-origin claims, particularly in February, where the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) reported a 1050% spike in such complaints. The CFIA takes these labeling issues seriously and has committed to reviewing complaints as Canadians prioritize local goods amidst growing trade tensions.
