It finally happened to me. Bought these at a local gas station, didn't look hard enough. Canada Strong sticker on top of an America 250 which was actually on the package.

Also, they were stale.

Looking for PPE for metal working shop. 3M respirators, P100 filters, organic vapour cartridges, and nitrile mechanic gloves. We usually get our equipment from Uline or Amazon and would be nice to have someone more local. Preferably within the Toronto area but willing to order outside the GTA as well.

I just found out old spice changed their formula by breaking out in a very uncomfortable rash, what are good alternatives now that I'm through with these assholes?

Blondie Apparel is having their annual online sample/warehouse sale. They primarily make women's casual clothing, but also have a unisex crewneck sweatshirt. Not only are their products made in Canada (Toronto) but their fabric is knit in Canada as well. I have... ahem.... quite a collection of their items and they hold up well over time. They are based in Eastern Ontario and women owned. I'm not at all affiliated with the brand, I'm just a huge fan and wanted to share about the sale.

A few recommendations:

The Ridge Pants are my go to sweats and I have two pair I have on heavy rotation.

The Cottage Sweater (in fleece or terry) is my pick for ultimate coziness. I'm not brave enough to wear it out in public, but it serves the place of a robe or cozy layer when lounging at home. Bonus: if you work from home and your boss sends an early morning video call request, it just looks like a hoodie from the top half!

For out and about, I've been rotating the Forest Hoodie (sale colours or new colours) and Mountain (fleece, regular)/Mountaineer Sweaters, which feel current but classic.

My daughter and I love colouring together. Since we can't get Laurentian Pencils anymore, is there a good alternative? Crayola and Staedtler are terrible. Looking for a Canadian brand, or European as a second choice. They need to be creamy and pigmented. Thanks!

On another web forum I frequent (which is 80% Americans, the rest of us from Canada and Europe), someone was asking for solid perfume recs but all the responses were US companies. Is there any Canadian company making solid perfumes? I would love to throw some money at them.

This is my first post in this sub. My husband recommended you fine folks when I fell down a rabbit hole of American perfume companies that sounded cool but I don't want to buy from the US obv. (I did check out the pinned post for extant Canadian businesses who do sell perfume, but's all spray or rollers. Which is great but I would like to try solid perfume.)

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start a small business selling my quilting products locally. Until now I’ve only made one-off projects for friends and family, so I’ve been buying fabric at local shops in Ottawa and sometimes from Spoonflower.

I’m now looking for a more economical supplier which restocks fabric designs, ideally one with a good range of printed quilting cottons.

Do you have any favourites you’d recommend?
Thanks so much in advance!

Hello!! I was wondering where I could buy a white gold or silver Mother Mary Medallion. Prefereably in person GTA area but open to online as well!

Feeing blessed on a cold fall day ,waking up to snow on the ground.

Not ready for winter at all, so lunch called for Playadito yerba mate and fresh raw west coast oysters harvested in BC.

Shout out hot sauce made in Uculet and Thunderbay in Ontario Canada. ¡Salud!

When purchasing hardwood flooring, please consider Made in Canada flooring from Canadian mill factories and encourage friends and family to do the same. New tariffs are directly impacting hardwood flooring producers right now. Here are some brands I personally know, feel free to add ones you know are also manufactured in Canada:

• Preverico (made in Quebec) > https://preverco.com/
• Vintage Hardwood Flooring (made in Ontario) > https://www.vintageflooring.com/
• Mirage Flooring (made in Quebec) > https://www.miragefloors.com/
• Mercier (made in Quebec) > https://mercier-wood-flooring.com/

We have Vintage hardwood flooring installed, both the look and quality are excellent.

Hello helpful shoppers! I am looking for some long flannel robes/house coats, similar to the LL Bean flannel but made in Canada specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this Quebec-developed fruit...

Pajar has lots of different products but I stumbled upon these and actually love them! They’re only available from the women’s section for some reason but just size up for men’s.

Wondering about Canadian kayak fishing accessories. Thinking something along the lines of a Navarre Kayak Fishing or Yak Attack.

Just curious if there’s a company I’ve missed making stuff at home. Thanks.

I’ve lived in Winnipeg 90% of my life, my dads been here for 70 years and neither of us had heard of Canada west boots till I saw them posted here in this subreddit, we both went and got a pair the other day and couldn’t be happier.
Definitely the first pair of shoes/boots I’ve had that are made in the city I’m from

I'm going to visit my friend in Birmingham, West Midlands, UK this xmas and since I'm paying / doing the flying, the only gift request my friend has made is a classy tree ornament that's Canada themed. I'll be honest...she's pretty much demanding it.

Soooo.....I'm a guy that's not sure where to start, at all.....any suggestions ? Maybe this isn't a dollar store thing ?

Please, thanks, baby jeebus help me.

ETA: Thank you all SO MUCH, lovely group and so kind ! I have such great options now, can't believe how great everyones suggestions are ! You guys are awesome 😊

Edit again: I've tried to reply to everyone but I didn't expect such a warm turn out and heartfelt suggestions. I'm tired and not even good at typing....so for anyone I missed, thank you...sincerely. I hope other people got good ideas from this thread.

Thank you fellow Canadians....that includes ALL of you...you are good peoples.

Where can I buy something like this that's made in Canada? I saw it on Pottery Barn for $3500 but it's made outside of Canada.

Hey r/BuyCanadian!

I recently started a new community, r/CanadianApps, dedicated to helping Canadians discover software and apps that are actually built by Canadian companies.

There are plenty of great Canadian alternatives to the American apps and services we use every day, but finding them isn't always easy.

The goal is to build a community where Canadians can discover homegrown alternatives, share recommendations, support Canadian developers, and help Canadian tech companies get more visibility.

Whether you're a Canadian app developer, someone looking to replace an American service, or just interested in supporting Canadian tech, we'd love to have you join us!

Come check out r/CanadianApps and help us build a directory of great Canadian software! 🇨🇦

Anyone able to share their experiences with Cozey couches? We were going to go to a showroom/store tomorrow to look (my wife and I, baby #1 on the way) but reviews seem to be very mixed. Either an incredible experience or a terrible one for those who bought.

Also is it actually Canadian made or is it just imported and warehoused like many “Canadian made” things (not that it actually matters)

Thanks!
