My wife has a lot of skin allergies, and the Unscented Company is the only brand we can easily find that works for her. We pretty much have all their products. She definitely recommends them

I’m not tech savvy but I use an ad blocker. I think most people either don’t know they exist or don’t care.

In the past they’ve had the cheapest tickets to Newfoundland I’ve found, which is where I go every year for my vacation anyway, so since they started flying that way I’ve gone through them. No complaints personally

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.

Canadian Brewhouse is pretty good. I’ve been a couple times, they have good deals on specific foods on certain days (wings on Wednesdays, tacos on Tuesdays, etc). They’ve got locations in Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Manitoba I believe.

Nice ideas. I’ll think on it. Thanks

Amazing. Yes, very much so! I like that

I have a list that I just started on my phone of Canadian products to put in an eventual master list post on this community. I’ll add that link to my note

 

Here’s some links to websites which list products made in Canada. Please note I have not personally created these lists and there may be issues (e.g. made in Canada from an American company), so it’s best to still do your research. I will eventually have a list of my own for 100% Canadian brands, organized by product type, but until then you can use these lists to help you. I may add or remove lists from here as I see fit and based on community complaints/requests. This is definitely a work in progress still so please be patient, but also please do give me any feedback you can so I can improve this list.

Ooh I like that idea. Any thoughts on a good name for it? I’ll make the post later on this week and see how it goes

I didn’t notice that one. I might have to pick it up though, it sounds like it would be pretty good

 

I’ve been shopping from these guys for years now. I have several belts, a couple wallets, a couple bags, a hat (unfortunately the hat isn’t made in Canada, just the leather emblem), and a bunch of smaller accessories. They aren’t cheap, but not crazy expensive either, and you definitely get what you pay for. They’re the only ones I buy from now. They also go on sale frequently too. They currently have a site-wide 25% sale, but they also sometimes have up to 40% off sales too.

 

Hey everyone.

I thought I’d make a post for anyone to comment on with suggestions they’d like to see in this community. Seeing as it’s starting to get quite a bit more active, and now that we have several mods, we should probably make it more professional looking, with a proper sidebar and maybe some other features you might have seen in another community that you liked.

If anyone has seen ideas they’d like to see here, feel free to suggest them in the comments on this post and myself and the other mods can possibly implement them. I’ll leave this post pinned so it’s easy to access, in case you read this and have an idea later on.

 

BuyCanadian was a fantastic subreddit but I couldn’t find anything with that name on this instance, I was just curious if there was a community about it on another instance
