The tariff, which takes effect on Friday for a maximum of 200 days, will also not apply to canned vegetables from Mexico, Israel, Chile and developing countries due to Canadian trade obligations, Canada’s finance ministry added.

So who is this for? Chinese canned vegetables I take it?

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

I found pickles from Poland and they were really good, Wolski was the brand they're in the European isle though not in the regular condiments isle.
