Stick with local produce. We grow a lot in Canada.
Beans.
Nearly all the beans/legumes on store shelves are from Canada.
Nuts.
This one is difficult, especially almonds. We do have a thriving seed industry: hemp, flax, etc.
Coffee.
What coffee comes from the USA?? Canadian roasters are everywhere and they import beans from South America.
Tea.
Same as above, get your tea from Japan, China, India, etc.
Various seasonings (vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, etc)
Seasoning blends are very often from the states, but look for local blends. Or get single spices and make your own! Or go ethnic, and get spices from Asia, Mexico, etc.
Grain.
Canada grows wheat, oats, wild rice, barley, rye, etc. No issues here. Get Asian rice if your worried about rice.
Cooking oils.
We produce a lot of cooking oil in Canada. For olive oil (not really a cooking oil), go with Italian.
Sugar.
China, Brazil, and India produce more than the US. We can get it from them.
Chocolate.
Go with Swiss chocolate.
Pasta.
Plenty of made in Canada pasta. Go with Italian if you want another option.
With the exception of citrus, some processed junk food, and a few odds and ends, Canada is quite food secure.
If animal products are a concern, stop eating them. Make tarrifs your excuse to go plant-based this year 👍

Just to note that American rice tends to have high levels of heavy metals. So even without tariffs you shouldn’t be buying American rice.
