Where can I buy books online from a Canadian business that’s not Indigo? I’ve seen Book Outlet and a few places like that mentioned but they don’t have great selections. I’m in the GTA if that matters.

I'm searching for internet for my new place. Does anyone here use Fongo internet? How is it?

I'm seeing a lot of Canadian shows coming to Netflix that are also on CBC Gem, and I'm wondering which is better for the CBC for me to watch it on. I guess I'm thinking mainly of the CBC originals, but any insight into other shows is cool.

Does CBC get royalties, or charges or nothing, when Netflix plays one of their shows? I assume there are also server costs, minimal as they may be, when I play something on CBC Gem.

My partner needs some TUMS, and I’d like to find a Canadian brand to try. Thank you!

Hi! It's that time of year where I start looking at buying a calendar for my office... would love to encourage something from here! Do you have anything to recommend?

Support local and small businesses in Canada.

I understand that “home goods and essentials” may not make sense, but I’m looking for options of paint pens/paint, so that I can decorate my front screen door for each holiday💕

The photo shows one example from T.T. and I think she used posca pens? I’m looking for the best/cheapest option to order, very obviously looking for Canadian options! And if you have any experience using any of them or tips on how to design things, I would love to hear!

Hello! I am in the market for a new sectional couch and would like to buy Canadian. I am in Alberta, and live rural-ish without a truck, so delivery needs to be an option and I likely will not have an opportunity to view in person. I would specifically like something with some more eccentric colour options (beige and brown just isn't it for me, personally). I am not rich, but I am willing to splurge for actual quality. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm looking for Christmas gift ideas for my tween daughter, and hoping to source as much as possible from Canadian makers and manufacturers this year. I find this age so hard to buy for - she's too old for 'toys' but still wants 'stuff' (we also include experience gifts and consumables like chocolate). She's into STEM activities, art & crafts, nature, and books but I'm open to anything others have found their tween kids are into.

Looking to replace my 10 year old beige timberlands and for shoes that could work with custom orthotics. TIA

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!

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?

​

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.

Hey guys, I’m looking for genuine leather Apple Watch bands that will last. Any Canadian suggestions?

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
