Buy Canadian

I'm not affiliated with Michaud Toys, I'm just a very happy customer. The craftsmanship is amazing. Prices and delivery costs were very reasonable too ($45 for the board + $15 for delivery to Belleville Ontario). Their website has loads of games michaudtoys.org

Hi all. My wife has celiac disease and cannot have gluten at all. Ive cut out all American products but its much harder for her since her food options are so limited.

I was wondering what Canadian (or just not American) gluten free products or brands you might recommend! Thanks!

Theoretically, if Canadians gave real-looking one star ratings on Google Maps for Tesla dealerships and chargers, then it would discourage buying Teslas. People who already own Teslas would choose public chargers from other brands - even Canadian ones. It would also be hilarious to see every place selling swastikars with reviews lower than a doge employee's IQ.

Skim existing low reviews, find a common thread, and run with it.

What are our options for Peertube?

Just a little reminder.

Pisses me off to no end that they use the Canadian identity for marketing when they sold out decades ago.

Also their coffee and food has been shit for a long time too, coincidence? I think not.

So I had a TV service I rarely used, I kept it just cause I did occasionally use it to watch sports or whatever that were not easily accessible online. I was not using it much but it was worked into my budget non the less, last night when I was thinking about how I consume TV shows; I first realized I was paying YouTube (I bought an annual subscription that ends at the end of March) to watch the monologue of some late night TV shows, I thought about it and realized the Google was paying those channels for me to watch some of the show so I am going to mark them to not be suggested to me via YouTube anymore and watch them via Canadian channel apps. I then thought about giving up on them all together, I do not know if I am ready to do that yet but I am seriously considering that whaat do others think?

Then finally I thought long and hard and realized I am paying for a TV service I rarely use, and it has US channels on it so I was paying to have access to US channels that I am not using or going to use so I cancelled my TV subscription.

As someone who very rarely watches traditional TV it feels so freeing knowing I am not paying a very small price to American stations to have access to their channels. I realize the Canadian stations pay to show the American shows but I sneakily get around that by having a pihole to block ads so the Canadian channels are not making money off of me to watch US TV shows, it is like sailing the high seas without the actual plundering.

Just wanted to shout out my favourite place to get leather goods! Handmade in Nelson, BC with a lifetime guarantee. I have purchased from them several times and have never been disappointed. Their quality is fantastic, would highly recommend!

I just wanted to shout out Egli Farm. I found them while doing my Christmas shopping this year and everything my partner and I have gotten has been great quality at fair prices. The sheepskin bucket hat was a big hit at Christmas since it enables year round bucket-hattery in Canada lol

They have hundreds of Made in Canada wool and sheepskin products including clothing, footwear, homegoods, raw wool and sheepskin supplies, etc. Seems like they contract some of the more processing-intense type products out to Stanfields but they're in Canada too 🤙

Family-owned in Ontario since 1952!

P.S. if you end up ordering something leave a note on the order suggesting they switch to a .ca TLD so its easier for people tell they're Canadian

The app is called Maple Scan. Just downloaded it but have yet to give it a whirl.

I do love me some wordle, connections and the odd sporcle quiz. Does anyone know anything like that that is Canadian made and managed?

Searching this, I see a couple options, mainly in the 'Eco-friendly' direction. (e.g. Made of corn husks or silk, etc.)

Has anyone found/tried a Canadian made floss? Any good? I can't seem to find any at local stores, so it seems like a lot to spend to buy a single pack of floss and ship it here.

I just find it funny that things like Montana's, Boston Pizza and New York Fries are Canadian. Any other American-named places that are Canadian?

I've heard good things from others so far, anything to be concerned about with them?

I've had a couple Gurus when I'm in a pinch and really need to stay awake. What other Canadian energy drinks are out there?

I have been using some brands for decades (e.g. Paula's choice) but would rather shop local. Does anyone have any favorite Canadian skincare brands they'd recommend?

I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.

I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.

Without the Nutty Club in operation, I can't really find anything made in Canada at all...

For chips we have Old Dutch and La Cochina and a few other good options. But I'm completely lost in the junk food aisle trying to find snacks for D&D.

Does anyone knows an alternative to Campbell's chicken gumbo condensed soup? I use it for a specific recipe, and can't seem to find a Canadian replacement...
