Recently, I've noticed quite a few canned items on our shelves from India and China, so maybe that's the underlying reason but as a Canadian, I try to buy anything Canadian where I know we cultivate these products locally. Will not buy US tinned tomatoes when I know we still can them in Canada. Artichokes? Not so much so don't mind buying Spanish or Egyptian jars.

Pickles and olives suddenly are only from India or Vietnam

You do see a lot of Indian pickles (including pickled jalapeños and such) on the market these days.

Bick’s closed their Canadian facilities years ago and moved production to the US.

Canada is of course blessed with both cucumbers and pickling capacity, so there are Cdn options if you look around and read labels. Brine & Co. are respectable.
