I'd like to but often times either it is unavailable or more expensive. The easiest one is food but often times most of that stuff is imported and also if you live in a geographically large country such as Canada or America, you have to worry how much it really matters that you're buying nationally if the item that you are buy originates from the opposite coast.

The supermarkets also list produce grown in your province (Ontario in my case) as well as the country. It's seasonal of course, damn plants won't grow in winter! Of course that's not the whole story, farmers here hire seasonal agricultural workers from Jamaica, Mexico and other Caribbean countries to harvest the local produce. At least it's still more efficient to transport the workers instead of all the food. 17,000 this year in Ontario.

Ah yeah you're right about the provincial labels, I've forgotten about those.
