The movement took off earlier this year after consumers switched to Canadian-made products in an effort to boycott the United States following a trade war and threats of annexation from president Donald Trump. But since its peak, recent data suggests the trend has fallen off. Statistics Canada's latest report found that nearly 70 per cent of businesses did not experience an increase in sales of their Canadian products over the past six months.

Sales surged by 150 per cent in February at Maker House after U.S. President Trump announced tariffs on Canadian goods, driven by the Buy Canadian movement.
