a Canadian company that’s importing from the States
That would make it an American imported product.
(many examples I’ve found just at the grocery store),
Such as?
Obviously the argument was never to buy something made in USA disregarding who owns the company, over something made in Canada. You are arguing against a strawman you made yourself.
Dianty is a Canadian company, but their brown rice comes from the States.
Nature’s Path is a Canadian cereal company, but they make everything in the States.
You can find alternatives that are not by Canadian companies, but are Made in Canada, and those options are better than the above. To Dainty’s credit, though, they only import the rice, but clean/finish/package it in Canada, so they aren’t terrible.
Still, I avoid their brown rice because the main ingredient is American.

I don’t think I was trying to make that argument, at least, I hope it didn’t come across that way.
It’s best to avoid anything made in the States or ingredients from the states. The local of a company’s head office is less relevant if they are employing Canadian workers to make the products.
