Some of these, to us, are no-brainers (Sephora for beauty retailer and Ford for pickup trucks), but others have us really wishing to see a vote breakdown. Frankly, we had no idea that Tylenol really dominates the medical world, or that Uber Eats has surpassed both DoorDash and SkipTheDishes.

Well, if there’s one thing the list of the Most Trusted Brands in Canada for 2022 has accomplished, it’s that we’ll be thinking a little harder the next time we come down with a cold!
