The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that the threat of tariffs has left Canadians vowing to ditch U.S. imports for local goods. The Globe's Erica Alini and Mariya Postelnyak write that consumer electronics is one of the toughest categories for shoppers to "buy Canadian." While Canada has a thriving technology sector, it hardly plays a role in the supply chains of products such as smart phones and laptops. If you are in the market for a new computer or TV and set on avoiding U.S. companies, consider opting for Korean and Japanese names, said Jim Kilpatrick, Deloitte's global supply chain and network operations leader. Smart phones are trickier, with consumer choice often constrained by what is on offer through telecom providers or employers mandating the adoption of specific devices for work. Keep in mind, also, that Apple sources climate-friendly aluminum from Quebec. Still, if you are an audiophile, waving the Maple Leaf is easy. "Some great Canadian names have emerged in the high-end audio space," said Mr. Kilpatrick. For high-quality equipment such as speakers, turntables or amplifiers, look for brands such as PSB Speakers and NAD Electronics, both members of the Lenbrook Group, or Totem Acoustic.
