The Canadian government's push for buying domestic products, spurred by U.S. tariff threats, has highlighted complexities in product labeling. Prime Minister Trudeau and several premiers have encouraged Canadians to choose local products. However, consumers face confusion over labels like 'Made in Canada' versus 'Product of Canada.' The regulations stipulate that 'Product of Canada' indicates at least 98% Canadian production costs, whereas 'Made in Canada' refers to more than 51%. This makes it challenging for consumers to confidently support local businesses when the labeling can differ significantly.
"It's not always easy to buy Canadian," Michael Von Massow said, highlighting the complexities of understanding product labels like 'Made in Canada' and 'Product of Canada.'
Prime Minister Trudeau's call for Canadians to buy domestic goods follows U.S. tariff threats, emphasizing the importance of local purchasing to support the economy.
