You have a local brand that imports all their goods. How many employees do you think they have? It would all be just sales, admin, and warehouse.
Now say that you have a company manufacturing in your country using ingredients from your country:
You’ve got dozens of farmers, and everyone connected to them. Dozens or hundreds of factory workers, and everyone connected to them. Your “Canadian office” will still employ Canadians for admin, sales, warehouse, etc.
How would that not be better?
To reiterate: Buying from a locally-owned brand who also manufacturers locally is the best. But when given a choice between a company that makes goods in your country, and one that only sells imported goods from your country, the former is going to be more beneficial to the economy.
No, you aren’t.
