Here are Canadian fast food chains you can choose to support instead of American ones

Pizza Pizza and Harvey's represent just a few of the numerous Canadian-owned fast food alternatives available.

In light of the ongoing trade conflict, consumers are encouraged to consider Canadian-owned establishments rather than American fast food chains.

Recently, President Trump enacted a 25 percent tariff on Canadian imports and a 10 percent levy on Canadian energy. In retaliation, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada would impose 25 percent tariffs on American products.

Additionally, Ontario Premier Doug Ford revealed retaliatory actions, including the removal of American alcoholic beverages from LCBO stores and the cancellation of a Starlink contract with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, which was intended to provide internet access to rural areas in the province.

Beyond purchasing local products at grocery stores, individuals can also indulge in Canadian-owned fast food. Below are several local options that can serve as alternatives to your favorite American takeout.

1. Harvey's

Opt for Harvey's instead of McDonald's, Burger King, or Wendy's. Established in 1959, Harvey's is a brand under Recipe Unlimited and is renowned for its 100 percent Canadian beef patties.

Swiss Chalet

Choose Swiss Chalet for your chicken meal rather than Kentucky Fried Chicken or Chipotle. Recognized as the home of Canada's beloved rotisserie chicken, Swiss Chalet is also part of Recipe Unlimited.

Second Cup

Select Second Cup for your coffee instead of Starbucks. Founded in 1975 as a kiosk within a shopping mall, Second Cup has grown to become Canada's largest specialty coffee retailer.

Mr. Sub

Instead of opting for Subway, consider Mr. Sub for your footlong sandwich. Founded by two friends, the inaugural location opened in Toronto in 1968 and is currently owned by MTY Food Group.

Pizza Pizza

Rather than ordering from Domino's Pizza, enjoy a slice from Pizza Pizza. Established in 1967, Pizza Pizza boasts over 750 locations nationwide.
