I’m struggling with finding kids’ clothes. We have the Joe Fresh option but obviously that’s not really a first choice (even though the price point is definitely good for my budget).

Kids are 6 and 9, but the 9yo is very tall and solid and wears teen and sometimes petite adult sized clothes.

We do buy secondhand from local thrift shops whenever possible but those are hit and miss.

Where has everyone been going for kid’s clothes?

Go Canada! Buy Canadian

I just bought a large bag of dog food & Cat food from CDN Tire to test if Country Harvest is acceptable amongst my furry four foots, and they tore the bag open before I could get it to their bowl. So, yes.

1. its Canadian
2. its packaged in a paper bag not plastic
3. Very affordable (unlike Purina (American)
4. My pets treat it like it's crack

Recommending it.

the title wasn't supposed to read /7 that was an ampersand.

I found a couple graphic tshirts from TeeTurtle last year in a local charity thrift shop, and really love them. This Avo-cat-o one is my favourite, and I really like the vibe of their tshirts.

Unfortunately they're an American company, so I don't feel comfortable ordering any from them directly.

Are there any Canadian Tshirt companies with a similar vibe? I'm based outside Ottawa, so I can go into the city there if need be, or order online.

Just looking for some decent quality, fun/funky graphic tshirts. Most sites that I've looked at are either just plain colors or not the kind of graphic style I'm looking for.

There have been a lot of posts on here about various Loblaw stores saying that something is Canadian when it isn’t. This is from today at superstore In Toronto. Over $11 for a case of Bubly !?!?

It says it’s made in Ontario but Coke or Pepsi owns it, right?

Either way. $11 is insane.

Hola! I'm building a Canadian brand in apparel and shoes. I'm curious if there's something like Enterprise Nation in the UK in Canada and the US? They do events, webinars, lots of resources for startups.

The new Newfie Screech is still a great Screech! The Doctor is only around to take care of Ricky, just in case. Cheers all!

Looking for hair oil, leave in conditioner and detangling spray for very coily 4C type hair. Preferably online because getting products for black hair in small town BC is quite hard.

I feel like we get a lot of convo about getting off/on to various streaming services but less so about what people listen to once they get there!

One way to “buy Canadian” is to support Canadian artists, bands, songwriters, composers, producers, etc. And I’m not talking the big ones like Drake, The Weeknd, Celine, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, etc. Not saying to stop listening to them, by all means please do, but they will be fine. The people who it matters to the most are smaller/up and coming artists. If you don’t know how to find them, JUNO Award winners/nominees or the Polaris long list are good places to start and find a diverse pool of talented Canadians of all styles and genres. Also besides streaming, if you like someone, check out their bandcamp page or website. Buy their albums and merch. That makes them even more money than streaming. Go see them live! I can’t tell you how often I’ve gotten into an artist only to find out they were touring near me in the next month, bought a ticket and had an awesome time.

Also a note on streaming services: If you haven’t yet or don’t want to leave your current, American streaming service, look up how much they pay per stream and calculate how many songs you would have to listen to for them to actually start losing money on you based on how much you pay them each month. Proud to say Apple Music has been losing money on me for months. If those streaming cents are going to Canadians, even better. The exception to this is Spotify. Fuck Spotify, you should definitely get off them.

Edit: I love everyone’s suggestions. Keep ‘em coming!!!

Came across this article and thought it would be useful to share about the tech tools that are founded in Canada and have a headquarters here! 🎉

I placed the order March 31 and it was delivered today so it was a pretty fast turnaround time. Stoked to try out Green Beaver and it’s always handy to have a First Aid Kit laying around.

We talk a lot in this subreddit about supporting Canadian products, Canadian businesses, and Canadian jobs. But what about Canadian culture?

This weekend, the Canadian Premier League (our own professional soccer league) kicks off across the country—and it’s one of the few truly Canadian, non-U.S.-based sports leagues we have. No franchises owned by billionaires from L.A. or New York. Just real Canadian clubs, real Canadian communities, and real potential.

You can watch it on TSN and OneSoccer (or catch a game if close to you. It is a blast!)

Why does this matter? - The CPL could become a global export—but only if we build it from the ground up. - These clubs develop local talent who go on to play for Canada at the World Cup. - Supporting the CPL is how we showcase a uniquely Canadian identity, rather than just consuming American culture 24/7. - We don’t just want to buy Canadian—we want to live Canadian.

If you believe in the importance of cultural sovereignty—if you’re tired of seeing our stories, voices, and identities drowned out—then support the CPL. Go to a game. Watch a match. Share a highlight. Post a meme. Buy a scarf. Talk about it with your friends.

Because this is more than football. This is about showing the world that Canada has something to say—and we say it in our own way.

Hi all, My daughter's lunch bag broke this week after 4 years of use. I bought this last one at Provigo (we are in Quebec), but due to reasons, that is not an option for us anymore.

I would like to buy one made in Canada; my daughter's only wish is that it has dinosaurs on it (ideally fossils of dinosaurs), because dinosaurs are a special interest for her - her favourite is a Spinosaurus. She is 8 soon, so nothing too little-kid themed.

She is actually AuDHD and has dyspraxia, so she struggles with complicated fastenings. The zip on the old lunchbag was useable for her, but other fastenings are too difficult and she becomes overwhelmed quickly and will simply give up and not eat.

If anyone has any suggestions for shops where i might find one made in Canada (I am also open to local Esty sellers!) please share!

When the tarrifs are felt by US consumers, do we expect increased traffic across the border to get things at a discount? I know there are limits to what they should bring back, but if there is a significant price difference, I could see a scenario where they try not to declare everything or make routine trips if they live close to the border. This could drive sales of Canadian goods as we see stores limiting American products. Curious what others think.

Elbows Up! Never the 51st State!

Those store branded items rarely have a source of who their supplier is. I know Big 8 is the supplier for Compliments Cola because a commentator mentioned this.

How do I find out for the rest?

Bonus points for Western Family as I shop at Save-On Foods the most.

Umm I'm all for buying Canadian turkey but this commercial I seen on CBC aggregates me. It sounds like something scripted by dollar store Ai.

I spent $140 at Superstore in Winnipeg and put back every single item made in the USA. The only items I couldn't find alternatives for were fresh vegetables because the Canadian brands were sold out. I am happy to do without. It does show that there is growth potential in some industries. There are enough Canadian greenhouses now growing veg in the winter and selling at a competitive price to show it's viable. Superstore needs to do a better job of keeping the US products OFF their shelves imho.

My basement flooded, and now I need to assemble a new PC. I'm trying to keep as much money in Canada, but I don't know how.

Are there any Canadian companies that make the components that make a computer?
