Both, but separately. When I was at Walmart last, I could find Belgian chocolate, British Wine Gums, etc. But I didn't really want to shop at Walmart, since their profits will still be funneled to the US.
So I went to my local Co-op. And everything there was basically Mars or Nestle or similar. Even the Co-op branded stuff was "imported by Co-op (Canada) under license" but wouldn't give me country of manufacture. Haribo and Storck were there from Germany, so it my objective was only to not-buy American, I could pull it off.
But the only things in the aisle that were provably Canadian were some of the chips and beef jerky.
Ended up with a bag of Haribo gummy bears.
Lots of other good advice in the comments, but I didn't see any of these brands in my Winnipeg Co-op. Will keep hunting :)
Makes sense. It can be difficult unfortunately.
Thw co-op at St Vital Center has British candy in the international foods aisle (as well as from some other countries).
