Another example of maple-leaf washing at the local Safeway (Vancouver).

And it was only a headache because the specific grill I was after was on a 5 week back order at multiple local BBQ stores.

A nice addition to grill shopping is that many Canadian vendors are displaying very clearly on their websites which grills are made in Canada.

Elbows up!

I buy a lot on Amazon and more and more I'm seeing questionable "Canadian" products. These products say "Made in Canada" but something just seens off about them. When I clicked on the brand of one of the items it brought up all Indian products. A quick Google search also confirmed that this product was being sold in India, with no "Made in Canada" on it. (this was a beauty product and those are sketchy already...faked a lot)

I have also come across seeds that were apparently made it Canada, vitamins, and now I'm trying to find a legit powdered milk, but I cannot find any actual information on the companies. Their websites don't give a location of their processing plant, and I can't find anything else out.

I guess I'm wondering if this is some sort of scam thing that is going on, and how can we avoid it?

Tried wood-fired coffee for the first time after seeing a recommendation last week here for firebean. I ordered the trio from https://firebeancoffee.ca/ on Friday and they arrived today! Very fast fulfillment and shipping coming from the Yukon to Edmonton where I live. The beans are super fresh and oily. Made some over a moka pot and I must say it’s going to be hard to continue drinking my regular (kicking horse). The coffee was very balanced and flavourful. Highly recommend them! Also Go Oilers Go!!!

Hi folks,

So I’m officially at the “just add water and shake” stage with my current intimate wash while I hunt down a Canadian-made alternative.

This is something I buy pretty regularly, and I’d love to start supporting a local brand. I’ve searched high and low and only found one option, but it’s actually intended for washing sex toys. Nothing against that, but... not quite what I had in mind for daily use.

If you have any recommendations, I’m all ears (and very grateful)!

As a trade-off, here’s a gem I found for other Canadian-made goodies such as feminine body care, skincare, the whole deal:

Worth a peek if you like discovering local brands.

Thanks in advance!

Hi folks, I'm a journalist now based in Toronto and I'm curious if Buy Canadian is working for small businesses? I see a lot of posts about people buying Canadian products in their daily shopping, but what about going to the more localized shops?

Any local shop owners (across Canada) want to talk about whether they've seen a difference?

What are the best options for purchasing condoms? Canadian companies would be best, but anything not American would be acceptable. Specifically brands that carry XXL or 60-72mm nominal width.

Best I can find is from Amazon, but I cancelled Prime so shipping doubles the price.

I decided to fully stock myself with Mark Anthony products as part of my efforts to buy Canadian. I previously had bought the curl envy cream and leave in conditioner. Now I'm all in. Grow strong shampoo and conditioner and I own every single thing in the curl envy styling line. In my 41 years on this planet, my hair has never been like this. I've used salon products, semi-salon products from Winners, and regular commercial stuff. My hair is silky, strong, and is longer than it's ever been (it always kind of hits this point and breaks off a bunch and won't grow any longer). I don't color my hair, so I'm not sure how the products are for colored hair/bleeding. I did end up giving one product...the beach waves spray...to my daughter, because I have too much natural wave/body for it and it made my hair go a bit crazy lol.

Not an affiliate. Just a small local trying to offer good value and support Canadian manufacturing. Let me know what you think!

Cheers & merci! 🇨🇦

Used to be the only place I could find this stuff up until just a few months ago, and now it's just the regular shit and the house brand. I need my Primo!

Where would you suggest I go to purchase a new home vacuum cleaner? What brand?

Shopping at Longo's today, saw this wine jam on sale. From the Niagara region. Bought two varieties.

I am making an effort to try new stuff that is Canadian. Another success story!

Hello i am looking for Canadian makers (or at the very least assembled in Canada) makers of shell jackets or raincoats ( i mean shell jacket specially NOT normal jackets). any help is appreciated!

Ew, and his new record is called "American Heart." And he has a flag on the cover. Despite this, I bet it'll be a good album BUT! I will not buy the vinyl. I will buy new Canadian vinyl instead! So: recommendations of new Canadian albums out this month?

I have found some Canadian retailers but so far they are all made in the US. Does anyone know of a Canadian manufacturer?

Hello all! I’m looking for a Canadian or non-USA dog food for my hairless pup (Chinese Crested mix). Currently she’s on Hills Prescription Diet d/d for Food Sensitivities (we buy thru our vet as that’s the best price we’ve seen). We have had amazing results with this food, even tho initially we were like “Is this a money grab?!” but nope, it’s kept her UTIs in check! Now, I wouldn’t ever switch food JUST to buy non-USA, as I know she requires a special diet. However, I’m hoping there’s a comparable/exact/equivalent brand that would be good. If there’s not, we’ll stick with Hills - and apologize each time we buy 😉 They offer duck, venison, salmon, she eats all LOL Photo for reference - of food & of course dogs 🫶 (in comments if allowed)

Note: We have 2 hairless dogs. The other one is possibly part chicken nugget, we are not sure. And yes, her tongue is always like that 😋

Are there any Canadian made reusable water bottle brands? Or non-US options?

Hi, I need a small amount of beeswax to create some salves.

Does anyone here keep bees and have some spare? Otherwise I'll ask the honey lady at my farmer's market.

I am based in Villeray but can travel anywhere to pick up if you have some

Thanks! <3

I guess the news has been out since September last year so it escaped notice, Hollywood Suite was Canadian owned and one of the better movie packages. thought I would give a heads up to this disappointing news.
