I was looking for a new dog food brand recently because my dog's kibble was American. I tried the 'Inukshuk' one I saw recommended on here in a different thread. The ingredients seem good and I liked that I could order a sample bag for $5 rather than committing to an entire bag without knowing if my dog would like it because she's extremely picky. Took about two weeks to arrive in interior BC from when I ordered it.

(My dog does like it, but that's a pretty subjective criteria. Some dogs are pickier than others.)

The County Bounty: Made in Ontario, pays a living wage, woman-owned, supports Indigenous initiatives.

They make delicious sodas, iced teas, and sparkling water.

I just ordered a whole bunch. Many different flavours, long shelf life, less sugar, and prevents the pain of carrying heavy cans from the grocery store. 👍

Dog food - Oven Baked Tradition

Made in Québec, low baked to keep the nutrients intact. Pretty high quality food, reasonable price.

Henson safety razor. It's the only product I ever purchased based on sponsored recommendations, and I actually didn't regret it. It's hard to clog, easy to clean, and the minimalist design compared to other safety razors helps with tight spaces. The handle's grip pattern works better than you'd think too, without scraping flesh.

After using it for about a year, my partner (who uses razors a lot more and has really sensitive and fragile skin) finally worked up the nerve to try it. Now we have two.

To be clear though, it is a luxury product. You can get a quality safety razor that works just fine for half the price, easily. I probably still wouldn't have grabbed one myself, if it weren't a Canadian product. You can go for the titanium version if you're an utter financial masochist.

Was it shoesonhead who convinced you?

[–] HonoredMule@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

I didn't bite right away, but I was on board the first time it was presented to me, which I think was either by Practical Engineering or Steve Mould. But I might be misremembering and there's at least a half-dozen other possibilities, what with the sponsorship pricing/bidding ecosystem working the way it does.

(Ad brokers track what "open offer" sponsorships are providing the best value to content creators, resulting in everyone choosing a few top picks. It's the reason why a single sponsor will seem to blitz the entire space all at once.)

Looks amazing. I just purchased one based on your recommendation

[–] LightOnFoot@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

I’ve got one too. It’s probably my third or fourth safety razor I’ve tried, and by far my favourite. I’ve got the aluminum one in blue. I got it as a gift, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have spent the money on it. Like you said, you can get good quality safety razors for far cheaper. But this one is definitely very good.

I just got a box full of Yupik goodies, and I'm as happy as a clam!

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You can find Yupik products on Costco.ca too

[–] HonoredMule@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I had no idea Yupik was Canadian, or for that matter anything more than an Amazon seller. I guess it's time to give their catalog another perusal.
