For example, sometimes you'll be able to find things online - "made in Canada" products that are simply not available in your area. Or does that defeat the purpose? PS I really appreciate that you post all your findings in spreadsheet form for easy access. How easily (locally) accessible must your purchases be?

It is the most useless product I have ever bought in my life! Also, I know you're not at food yet, but when you get there, if you really don't want to visit the farmers' markets, check out one of the local produce delivery companies (Green Earth Organics or SPUD). They tell you where their produce comes from, so you could order all-Canadian produce without ever leaving the house.
