The threat of tariffs from the United States has created a push for more people to buy local, and now there is an app to help people do just that.
Tech blogger Kevin Andrews says a couple of entrepreneurs from Edmonton have created an app known as Shop Canadian, which allows people to scan the barcode of a product and it will say whether or not the product is Canadian.
Andrews says the app pulls information from a database that includes over 10,000 companies in Canada.
He says a recent update to the app will give products a rating based on “how Canadian it is.”
He says that rating seems to be app-generated and not user-generated. He says it factors in things like where it was manufactured, and where the materials came from.
