I’ve been doing the ‘buy Canadian’ thing for a few years now. I actually enjoy the game of trying to find cool folks making cool stuff and I know that there are others like me just like there are people who lack the time or inclination to do the research.
I also think it can be tricky for people looking at starting a business to be able to identify a need.
So what’s a product you don’t know of a Canadian alternative to?
Personally, it’s cast iron cookware. Meyer makes great stainless stuff, but there isn’t a single foundry making cast iron cookware in Canada. I’ve actually started emailing a few to see if I can find a Canadian foundry that would be willing to batch produce cast iron skillets. Finding a local brand already doing it would be a LOT easier!
Almond and almond derived products are almost all American.
Credit cards. Not like a Canadian Tire card, but the equivalent of Visa, MasterCard or AMEX. I have a line of credit through my bank, but it’s tied in with Visa. Think of the amount of $ we give the US through interest and/or annual fees! Would it be in the billions?
WHY isn’t there a Canadian credit card?
Generic toothpaste, not any “super organic, green healthy” nonsense. I want fluoride and lots of it.
yea, bought some local toothpaste, didn’t realize it was fluoride free.
Attitude has a range including your standard gel pastes with fluoride.
Lysol wipes are like magic to me. They clean 99% of everything. I would love a Canadian alternative that are equally as effective but I don’t know of one.
Beard oil. Every damn one I see in store or online is made in the US.
Have you looked online at The Cape Breton Beard Factory?
