Probably actual maple syrup, I'm pretty sure we produce the most world wide by a large margin.

Description: Biological maple syrup, 100% Canadian
Description: Müsliriegel. Produced in Spain with 2% Canadian maple syrup
If you ever find the maple syrup in a tin can, that's the real stuff.
Nah unfortunately these don't make it across the ocean, the best we get are those little glass bottles with a handle like in their first link.
We always bring back a few cans with us when we visit Quebec and then we have this plastic container thing that lives in the fridge, the Canadian way.
I also love the little maple leaf shaped candy that seem to basically just be hardened maple syrup. I don't normally like candy, but these are simple enough for me to enjoy.
That's too bad, I wonder if there's a restriction to shipping them by mail to Europe. I've got a sugar shack for a neighbor.
I assume it's just because you keep the good stuff for yourselves haha.
Yes Big Maple.
It'll probably be easier for you to buy or support Canadian digital media than physical goods.
Contributing to Canadian projects or gofundme's would also be highly direct.
If you're into games, Balatro is an indie game of the year winner by a Canadian dev!
Im hoping we start trading with you guys more in the future. I think right now we dont export a lot of finished goods to Europe. I suspect most are raw materials.
Canada is primarily a resource economy because we have a lot of natural reaources and the infrastructure to move them.
Manufacturing and finished goods, less so. So maybe check into what companies use Canadian materials if youre interested in supporting Canada.
If you are into outdoor clothing Arc'teryx is Canadian!
Not made in canada.
Lots of canadian companies stopped making stuff in canada, yet keep putting maple leaf logos and "designed in canada" to trick us
Perhaps salmon or other seafood? Probably some whiskey/liquor as well.
Daiya as a dairy free alternative
Damn I didn't know daiya was Canadian. Love that!
McCains is Canadian
Thanks for the encouragement. But I think Europe pretty much got it covered.
I go to France every year and I rarely see any Canadian products other than anything maple.
When you have a large common market, there's less need to look elsewhere for substitute goods. It's a strong point for the market.
CETA is a great move, but let's face it—many goods just aren't worth the transportation costs when you have plenty of alternatives within the common market. So, it makes sense that the EU has a trade surplus with us, so good on them. :)
The LitterLocker cat litter disposal system (i.e. a bin with a springloaded door, which accepts cartridges of continuous plastic bags) is Canadian, IIRC, and widely sold in Europe
Canada is a leading exporter of potash, used in pretty much every fertilizer
Canadian whisky (Sam Barton)
That's about the only thing I see in stores except maple syrup
Sortilège whisky combines the two
Maple syrup and whisky, but not too sweet like the Crown Royal sweetened ones can be.
Great for cocktails and coffee.
Kobo eReaders?
Is Kobo really Canadian anymore? I still prefer them but they were bought by Rakuten years ago, right?
Wikipedia still lists their head office in Toronto, at least Rakuten is Japanese if that makes it any better?
AFAIK they're still one of the better (if not least worst) ereader options, calibre works great with them and they tie into the eBook platform used by pretty much every library I have a card with (go check your library, there's card sharing between some of them and some cities will give you a card for working there, our libraries are a treasured resource).
Ah good to know, thanks! Yeah, Kobo is pretty great.
Lentils would likely come from Canada. We are the largest producer of lentils in the world. Frozen French fries would also likely be produced in Canada (McCain and Cavendish are Canadians).
