That’s the struggle of trying to supply more ethically.

I suppose buying from smaller sellers on eBay is an option.

Geat question but as a Canadian, european products aren't that hard to find. European cheeses and Italian meats are in most grocers. European appliances are in a wide number of stores. Ikeas are not uncommon. Car dealerships are everywhere. French and german cookware is common. Alcohol of all types is prominent on shelves.

It's not as good as it should be. It will get better as buyers find american products sitting around not selling. Takes time.

Europe should become Canada’s largest trading partner.

Can you give an example of some European products you can't find in Canada?

Faxe Kondi Booster is one of them. I'm not Canadian, just calling it out because it's a Danish energy drink.

@Sunshine online shopping maybe? Not sure if the European platforms sell to Canada too though.

Many IKEA items are made locally in Canada.
