I’ve noticed Canadian grown and commonly available produce in my area also includes rutabagas, radishes and mushrooms. Some greens like romaine lettuce has been available for a few weeks now too.
Unfortunately the majority of produce in the stores around me are still American.
Granny Smith apples with dark green skin with white specks are my absolute favourite. Smaller Honey Crisps are my second favourite. I don’t think I get any other apples after those two.

There is also out-of-season produce from Mexico. I’m not sure of the price difference - I didn’t even look - but it solves some problems.
As boring as it may be, I prefer to just stick with Canadian produce. My food already has to travel great distances within Canada alone.
Absolutely the most environmentally friendly option.
I suppose I have it easier in British Columbia as we have a good climate for growing variety with easy access to the pacific.
Though one thing I do wish I could find is Granny Smith apples.
