Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

No Alberta bell peppers where I shopped, unfortunately. It's interesting that they're doing that in greenhouses as well. I went with Mexico, which is fine, they're cool, but the thing is you know it came in through the US.

I didn't buy any fresh tomatoes this time around, so I don't actually know what's available.

I was impressed that they have them in February. It’s pretty cold an early in the season for bell peppers. Tomatoes grow like weeds but bell peppers are slower. Mexico works as well. I shop Canada first and then almost anything but US second. For example I don’t like garlic from China.
