I don’t usually drink tomato (or any) juice on its own, though I do quite like it, but I do occasionally make myself a Caesar. So I might have to try the no name stuff in my next Caesar, though that’ll probably be a while. I usually have one or two in the summer. Probably my favourite cocktail, I just generally prefer straight spirits, wine, or beer.

Love Hardbite chips. I’ve only tried I think their salt and pepper flavour so far but loved the texture of the chips. I’ll be a loyal customer of theirs for sure

I’ve seen those a few times before but never realized they were Canadian. I’ll have to pick some up

I like that idea, but I feel it’ll be easier to crowdsource that one. I’ll pin a post asking people to name any companies they’re aware of that used to be Canadian but have since moved

Added. Thanks!

I love Murdoch Mysteries. I’ve seen it several times and met some of the cast at a shooting several years ago. Yannick Bisson (Murdoch) is a really nice guy and quite funny too.

I’m bad for that, I have to limit myself to once or twice a year

[–] LightOnFoot@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks! I’ve added it to the list

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.

 

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.

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.
