Personally, as someone in Ontario, I want to see more products in my grocery store and Shoppers from YT, NT, NU, QC, NL, PE, NS, and NB.
I was tickled pink seeing a specific QC brand of sunscreen at Shoppers today, and at competitive pricing to ON made, and especially to the US brands.
I believe giving our smaller provinces more access to competitive selling in provinces with larger population will help our smaller provinces’ economy survive and hopefully flourish while The Turnip attacks our economy.
I’ve also been thinking Canadian companies, big and small, will look at selling outside of North America, too, if they arent already. A friend in NZ sent me a photo of 100% Canadian maple syrup being sold at her grocery store. She was so excited to see it!
The thing is, companies from thr larger provinces have so many more market protections than those from small ones. They have distribution networks already. Thry have a larger local customer base. They're in positions to just expand and take over.
You're more likely to see companies from Ontario or BC kill products from PEI or Nova Scotia than you are to see them on your shelves. Centralization is just cheaper.
Hopefully locals in PEI and Nova Scotia stay loyal to local stores.
I also hope companies from other provinces begin expanding into BC and ON. Now would be the time, considering all the box stores needing to find Canadian brands to replace American ones on shelves which arent moving.
