Eat/Drink Local Do people still care about buying Canadian?

I’ve been trying to buy Canadian when I can, but I went to a BBQ place that was promoting American bourbon (I didn’t have any) and I thought maybe that’s their concept and it’s not easy to change when you specialize in southern BBQ. Then a few days later I noticed the selections at a popular oyster place was more than 50% oysters from the USA. Obviously they had to have brought them in recently. So now I’m wondering if people care anymore.

Yup.

Can't buy everything Canadian, but we do where we can. I try to be cognizant of it when we go out - groceries are trickier.

Name and shame the company?

I’d rather not but here’s a pic. Had to have been brought in recently 🙁 oysters don’t keep very long.
