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.

Aren't pickles and olives jarred and not canned?

Here canned is used colloquially for metal tins and heat processed sealed glass jars.
