I tried to get on with this "Buy Canadian" protest. But ketchup, a basic north American staples far as I'm concerned, has no major Canadian only manufacturers. The only stuff you can find is boutique stuff that's like 10 bucks for 500ml. and you have to have it shipped to you.

Ever heard of Leamington, ON or Delta BC? Those cities make lots of tomatoes.

I know, for the grocery. You'd probably need twice as many for a full scale ketchup production. I didn't say we don't have any.

I think French and Heinz use Canadian tomatoes. So does the bottle of Compliments in my fridge. I guess we grow more tomatoes than we realize :)

Hienz used to have a factory in lemington but moved it, to Mexico i think
