<shrug> focus on made in canada with canadian ingredients/components where possible. The majority of the money is therefore staying in Canada even if the ownership & thus profits are from somewhere else. Profits from most goods outside tech are usually much much smaller than the cost.
As momentum builds it will become better known who are 100%, or approaching, local. It will also benefit the companies who are local to advertise it loudly, so those who are silent can be assumed to not be.
It’s never going to be 100%, there will always be some things you can’t get elsewhere but consciously avoiding makes a difference.
Foreign tourist inflows to the US are now down 25 to 75% for example. Just because some are still going doesnt mean they haven’t noticed
On the other hand, if your goal is to buy things that are non-American, it gets easier.
I’m happy to buy things from Australia or Denmark. I just don’t want to buy American things. If it’s assembled in Norway from minerals mined in Canada and then boxed up in Germany, the key thing is that it’s not American.
Buying “Canadian“ is going to be just as difficult as buying “American“.
In a global economy:
Some of those places might actually be Canada.
