I did similar analysis of some of the grocery store house brands and how many items they are identifying online as prepared in Canada or made in Canada at ShopCanadianStuff.ca/blog Save on Foods (Western Family) and Sobeys/Safeway (Compliments) are definitely the best, drastically better than Loblaws' house brands PC and No Name.

I think a large majority of Canadians are of this view and are trying to buy things made in Canada. The minority advocating to boycott made in Canada products of American brands are usually outvoted on social media and I have yet to actually meet anyone in person who advocates for that strategy which leads me to believe at least some of the online commentators advocating for Canadian owned over Canadian workers are trolls or organized disinformation actors. I've setup ShopCanadianStuff.ca to help shoppers find things made in Canada and don't really provide much opportunity to talk about the ownership of brands because I think it is a distraction.
