Products and sourcing change. Canadian-owned does not necessarily mean Canadian-made, and a Canadian
address or maple leaf alone does not prove origin. Always confirm the wording on the specific package.
How personal avoidance adds pressure
A single choice may feel small. Together, our choices can shift demand.
ZED DAYS helps Canadians understand the tariffs and choose where their spending goes. When many people make similar choices, reduced demand can add economic pressure for a change in trade policy. That pressure may influence businesses and governments, but no individual purchase guarantees a policy result.
-
01
Start with one everyday choice.
Choose something Canadian, look for another country of origin, buy used, repair, or simply wait.
-
02
That choice changes what gets sold.
When the same products keep getting passed over, retailers and importers may begin ordering less of them.
-
03
Small choices begin to add up.
Across many households, fewer purchases can become a noticeable shift in orders, inventory and sales.
-
04
The pressure becomes visible.
If orders and sales fall, affected suppliers may choose to raise the issue with governments. A policy response is possible, not guaranteed.

potential annual demand shift
Simple multiplication for illustration, not a forecast. It assumes each household redirects one C$6 U.S.-origin milk product purchase each week for 52 weeks. Totals show potential retail spending shifted, not tariff revenue or measured imports. Check the product’s country of origin, not only its brand.
