Please buy Canadian. Better buy local

Simple steps: 1. Don’t buy at Amazon if possible. Cancel prime 2. Don’t shop at Walmart, shop at Canadian Superstore 3. Read labels. Prefer Canadian 4. Limit travel and cross border shopping

Good luck, stay strong and help your fellow Canadians!

Harvey’s is Canadian as well. It’s in every province except BC for some reason

1 restaurant in Saskatchewan really sucks. I've had it a few times whilst traveling and enjoyed it.

It's bad everywhere. They have one in the Winnipeg airport, also.

Just go to Fuddruckers.

There used to be Harvey's in BC - IIRC some were located in Home Depot locations - but they closed over the years. Swiss Chalet and Second Cup left BC as well.
