At my local grocery store, all canned soup comes from the US. There's some alternatives that are made in Canada, but they're all in different packages (Happy Planet comes in pouches, Soups On comes in these massive jars) - none available in cans.

Meyer makes cast iron cookware. https://meyercanada.ca/search?q=iron&type=product
Edit: looks like the cast iron products are not made in Canada. Meyer bought the old Paderno factory and is basically Chinese owned. They also make the Canadian products for Paderno, which is a brand name owned by Canadian Tire.
Sadly, we used to have a complete real set of Paderno cookware from 20 years ago. Was replaced with a Chinese made Lagostina set that we received as a gift. Now looking for a new set, and Meyer really only makes complete sets, no open stock, especially for sauté pans which we use a lot. Guess we will have to go made in EU.
I don't think their cast iron is made in Canada - but I emailed customer service for confirmation.
Looking at their page some more, looks like it isn’t. All their made in Canada products are labelled as such. Will edit my reply.
Meyer makes
Are they made in Canada though?
Canadian Owned: No
If you’re looking to buy Meyer, keep a close eye on where it’s made, as they have factories in China, Thailand, and Italy, so just because it says Meyer, it may not be made in Canada. Their website is pretty clear about what products are made in Canada, as clearly, they see this as a differentiator in the Canadian market.

The Anglicized name of the family business, a transliteration of the Chinese characters for “beautiful” and “Asia” (“mai” and “yah”), was Meyer Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

Thank you. Looks like Meyer bought the Paderno factory. Now making KitchenAid, Meyer and Paderno. Guess that also explains why Paderno is so bad now.
Diabetic supplies.
Lysol wipes are like magic to me. They clean 99% of everything. I would love a Canadian alternative that are equally as effective but I don't know of one.
Thank you! I'll look into these and keep and eye out at the grocery store.
It's very difficult to find non-US coffee filters!
I'm planning to try out reusable cotton filters, at least that's a one-time purchase.
If you are talking drip coffee may I suggest you move to a french press or some other way of brewing coffee? I moved to a French press years ago and never looked back, sure drip coffee is easier but it is not for me.

Thayers Witch hazel facial toner. I have seen a couple of Canadian products but not with the same/similar ingredients.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for cast iron but I'd be interested too if anyone else knows a brand as I'd like to acquire a cast camp oven.
Have you tried a carbon steel skillet? Similar performance/use case for skillet sized stuff IMO but lighter. Not sure if there's a Canadian brand for commercially available carbon steel skillets either honestly; but plenty of euro options, or a local blacksmith could make one. I plan on attempting a small skillet myself once I get my smithy setup this spring.
I'll trade you a homemade carbon steel pan for a homemade stainless steel spatula ;) 
Dishwasher.
Unique Appliances and Danby have dishwasher. Also several European brands like Electrolux and Miele.
Bosch Benchmark series are also made in Germany. Some of the lower models are, but it goes on a case by case basis. Loved our Miele at our old place (2 loads a day for 13 years without issue) picked up a Bosch Benchmark for our new place.
At least there are EU options.

Jarritos :C
Jarritos is Mexican. So it's better than buying american.
An alternative you could look for is Pop Shoppe. I Personally love their black cherry and Lime Ricky flavors.
It is Mexican, but it's imported to Canada by an importer in Texas. Pop shoppe I know. They're sold at a local fish and chip place near me. I've been opting for Brio, for now. That and store-brand.
I see a Bristow Iron Works in Ontario, but their website is down. They have a Facebook page, but I have it blocked. From what I can see it is 4 years expired.
