Choose Canada

Canada faces ongoing tariff threats and actions from the United States.

In response, Canadian governments at all levels, including the City of Mississauga, are encouraging everyone to come together and put Canada first. Buying Canadian where possible and supporting local businesses keeps our country strong and united against these external threats.

Statement from Mayor Carolyn Parrish on U.S. Tariffs

How you can help

When you direct the money you already spend on food and supplies to Canadian products and businesses, you help build resilience in our community for adapting to an uncertain future.  

Wherever possible, choosing products made or produced in Canada, and sold by Canadians, supports your local and country-wide economy during these turbulent times and harmful tariffs.

• Buy products with a Made in Canada or Product of Canada label 
• Shop at local Canadian-owned businesses 
• Get your supplies from Canadian suppliers 
• Choose to vacation in Canada 

What the labels mean

According to Competition Bureau Canada:

• Product of Canada: At least 98% of the product contains Canadian ingredients and materials 
• Made in Canada: At least 51% of the product is made in Canada in our factories and businesses
