These banana-flavoured marshmallows from Dare are a guilty pleasure for me.
I assumed Dare is a corporate giant. Well, it's a Canadian corporation.
At this time we should purchase products from Canada, not from the United States. As I see it, products from other countries, like those cinnamon buns from Israel, are allowed,
but are not high priority.
In the real world, avoiding products from the United States is a mess. We've been through this before, when they put tariffs on aluminum from Canada for
national security reasons.
Things can get wild south of the border.

Hard candy from the Maritimes. Never had them, but I'm kind of curious. It helps that I like cinnamon.
A chicken bones liqueur exists out east too. Hmm.. a treasure hunt prize with Atlantic liquors/drinks/sweets .. shows up on the west coast!
I have a high opinion of maple and ice wine "hard" candies (it's like amber in your mouth) from Turkey Hill. I think you'll have to hit a specialty candy store for that.
For potato chips, I guess your Hostess, Lay's and certainly Old Dutch would be made in Canada, although they are U.S.
companies. Those Hostess Hickory Sticks make me think of Missouri or something, but they are Canadian.
Hawkins Cheezies are all Canadian. I like them, roughly first choice, although people say there is too much salt. Tomahawk are all Manitoban.
I like their salt and vinegar. Ms. Vickie's is confusing. You can get Surati's Sriracha Splash at the Indian/ethnic store.
Different texture. At first I thought the product was wonderful. Hardbite is solidly British Columbia.
I've been on a weird martimes consumables kick.
Covered Wagon chips are Atlantic storm chips.
Purdy's Chocolates and Rogers' Chocolates are both British Columbia. Old too.
Canadian licorice is elusive.
So what should be done with drinks, particularly sody pop?
I like to sing the praises of this in any case. The biggest bottle is one litre plastic.
You may find it at your Italian shop, it is at Dollar Tree, and it has been known to show up at Safeway. More popular out east?
Raspberry cordial from Prince Edward Island with a cultural/touristy connection. Nice, not sody pop
boisson gazéifiée. Rare.
There is the mysterious
spruce beer /

Good Food
out east, non-alcoholic and alcoholic.
Kvas is a peculiar drink from eastern Europe. Not everyone is going to like it. I love it. This version from Ontario is better than the other bottled ones.
In the real world people are going to get sody pop in quantity, readily available. Safeway has a whole aisle on one side with these.
You shouldn't be drinking pop at all, certainly not in quantity. Then again, I am now next to a two-litre of Mug root beer ("Proudly bottled in Canada").
Coca-Cola is made in Canada - I went by the building the other day - as is Pepsi. Pic A Pop is a Manitoba product. Pic A Pop might or might not be dead ..
The Pop Shoppe is confusingly similar .. confusing. My dad used to get them regularly, during an earlier incarnation of the company.
President's Choice (Loblaws) are two litre, affordable, available, and there is evidence that they are good.
Removing booze barriers could open new markets for alcohol producers on P.E.I.
More maritimes. You can learn about those mysterious interprovincial trade barriers.
Speaking of drinks, don't forget that drinks in aluminum cans will be more expensive in the U.S.A. with the aluminum tariffs. It happened last time.
Hecho en México. Comes in bigger bottles, at least at Save On. Photogenic anyway.
