Christopher Dip was talking with family around the dinner table in early February when the conversation turned to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats and what they could mean economically for Canada over the next four years.

The app now allows shoppers to scan items and learn whether they’re Canadian or not, with each scan bringing up a product’s manufacturing location, where its ingredients are sourced from and its brand ownership.
