If you're really into this, like me, I suggest using Edmonton's "Shop Canadian" app. There's other apps too. As you use it, you're going going to find ratings from other users as to how Canadian it is. It's data crowdsourcing at its best.

CBC's other apps: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buying-canadian-shopping-apps-barcode-scanners-1.7463039

Ratings are from 1 to 5 stars, where 5 should be "Product of Canada" owned by a Canadian company. A rating of 1 is not Canadian at all. I usually rate a 3 or 4 for "Made in Canada". I rate a 2 on things like NoName where it's "prepared for" a Canadian company.

You can rate each product yourself, if you want, and it can save you a lot of time reading labels when there's ten ketchup brands to look through.
