Edmonton entrepreneurs launch app to help shoppers find Canadian-made products

Two entrepreneurs from Edmonton have launched an app called Shop Canadian to help consumers identify Canadian-made products. This development comes as Canada and the U.S. have temporarily avoided new tariffs on imports. The app allows users to scan barcodes to see if products are made in Canada, the U.S., or elsewhere. The creators have received significant feedback and support since its launch, with downloads reaching around 2,000 to 3,000. The app aims to assist Canadians in supporting local businesses amid ongoing trade tensions. The developers are addressing initial technical issues and are focused on improving user experience.
