Anyone looking for a 100% made in Canada wool blanket should check out Macausland's woolen mill.

I visited the mill this this morning. At one end of their facility the raw wool goes in and at the opposite end high quality blankets are woven. They have an online store (https://www.macauslandswoollenmills.com) and their blankets are beautiful.

These varieties are delicious! If you’re in the GTA you can get these from Mama Earth:

Hidden Rose Apple (from Paradise Fields Farm)

• rare
• stunning pinkish interior 
• layers of multiple flavours at once
• hints of tropical fruit punch and floral

Crimson Crisp Apple (from Paradise Fields Farm)

• deep red colour
• sweet
• tart
• juicy
• crispy / amazing crunch

Hi, I come in peace as a frustrated american. Somehow we managed to buy Canadian steel for one of our projects.

I don't know the mill that produced it, but there it is in full maple leaf glory. At least 4 pieces of 10" x 10" x 3/8" each 20 ft long.

Just know we are not all shitheads like our leaders are.

Also........help.

I bought some Kamik boots in size 12 and they’re just too small. Are there any companies out there with women’s size 13 boots? I don’t mind buying men’s boots but I’d prefer some women’s just for the sake of them looking nicer. Prefer to stay under $150 but will to pay more for the right pair.

I'm a novice DIY-er at best and get mild anxiety walking into big box stores. My local Home Hardware closed down, so I've been looking for a local and reliable alternative.

I know RONA is American PE-owned now, but I was surprised at how many Canadian-owned and Canadian-made products I found in a 10-minute trip to the store.

Rona's website has a "Well Made Here" / Made in Canada section linked here with nearly 10,000 products. I also learned today that brands like Bosch, Kohler, and Siemens manufacture specific lines right here in Canada!

A couple 🇨🇦 brands to shout out:

• Master Plumber - replacement bath and plumbing parts company with HQ in St. Thomas, ON
• SamaN - low VOC interior/exterior wood stains HQ in Victoriaville, QC and products are made in Canada

I picked up a few items as well as a set of Canadian-made furnace filters.

Thought I'd share for anyone needing to make a trip to the hardware store.

I have a soft spot for special cheeses, and end up spending far more than I should on them. My favourites are Gruyère AOP, Compté, Dubliner and Manchego. Mind you these are all European cheeses.

Last weekend, I was visiting family in Burlington VT, and we decided to drive around Southern Québec to appreciate the Fall foliage (they are kind of too green in VT still). We ended crossing the border and headed to the Bromont area. In there, we came across this hidden gem called Fromagerie Brebis de Bromont.

I gotta tell you, their Reserve du Berger is one of the best cheeses I ever tried. And this is coming from someone who spent weeks trying all cheeses I possible could while visiting France and Switzerland.

I’m not sure we can easily find their products readily available elsewhere but you can order online. If you are ever in the Estrie region in Southern Québec , pay them a visit, I assure you won’t regret it.

They have a little shop with a variety of gourmet products, all local, all of excellent quality and reasonably priced.

Tonight I’m enjoying their amazing Reserve du Berger, knowing it’s an 100% Canadian product, makes it taste even better.

I'm looking to do some decorative rope work/macrame. I am looking for natural fiber cordage like jute and hemp in a variety of thicknesses. I'm looking for a bit more variety and in bigger quantities than what I can find in my local hardware store. Does anyone know of any Canadian websites shipping to BC?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a really good/warm winter coat and would like to support something made in Canada if possible. I have a pretty nice MEC-brand parka that I've had for many years that's holding up great, but the challenge is that I started using a wheelchair last year and long coats that cover my butt/thighs are great when standing but EXTREMELY obnoxious to get on and off in a wheelchair.

I'm looking for something windproof/waterproof and reasonably warm with a durable solid shell (not a puffer coat) that would come to maybe hip length, or shorter in front and slightly longer in back. Ideally not too bulky if possible since I have to have good range of motion in my arms. I don't mind having to add a thin layer underneath for extra warmth some days if it keeps the bulk down day to day. I expect the sleeves to take some wear and tear from friction on my wheels, working on some options to try and cover/protect them but thin or fragile outer fabric ain't it.

I'm also just a little guy, usually mens XS but I don't mind buying womens stuff as long as it isn't a really feminine design/cut. Willing to shell out for something good quality but would prefer to stay under $500 if at all possible. I realize finding something perfect may not be possible and there will likely be some tradeoffs but even just finding something the length I need has proven difficult. Any suggestions for Canadian (or at least not American) options much appreciated!

I want to order an XL male t-shirt from Retrokid for a gift but I can't find comments on their sizing. Did anyone order there before? Are their sizes accurate as compared to shops like H&M, Walmart..? Should I order a size up or down? Thanks!

I'm looking for a good mattress (a queen), bedframe, and all of the accoutrements - sheets, duvet, bed protector etc. I've been having really poor sleeps on my tri-fold on the floor and I think it's time to move on from my minimalist lifestyle - my health seems to demand it!

... but I want to so it right by getting as Canadian I can get with it!! Any recommendations? Specifically, I am located in BC's lower mainland.

I just received my first order from Crunchy Orchard in Quebec, a small family run business.

I bought their berry bundle and a single bag of the banana.

My husband and I tasted all of them and they are great. Not something I'd eat a handful of alone but will be great on oatmeal, chia pudding or some yogurt.

Great flavours and satisfying crunch.

I think the coupon code I used was CRUNCHY10

I have no affiliation with this company I just wanted to share my review.

For years, I've been buying women's graphic t-shirts from Curbside Clothing, a US-based company (including the exact shirt in the picture). I like that they have a few different shirt styles for women, including their "dolman t-shirts" as pictured above.

I've been trying to look for a Canadian graphic tee brand, but everything I find is either "unisex" tees only (ie: made for a male body, but don't get me started...) or looks suspiciously AI and cheap.

Ladies, where are you finding nicely cut graphic tees in Canada?

A few years ago I got custom neckties made for my workplace. People are starting to ask me for another run of the ties. Problem was the company I went with was in the US and so if I do it again I want to keep it Canadian.

Looking for a company that will print the custom fabric and make the necktie, not just screen one face of the necktie and leave the back side stark white.

I am getting married early next September and we're having a more casual wedding celebration. I don’t think I want to wear a full wedding dress, but I still want it to be something special. Looking for recommendations of smaller Canadian designers / shops where they may sell some cool, unique dresses.

Located in Toronto, but open to any businesses across Canada!

Some of the details:

• Dress code is TBD (depending on my dress, lol) but likely cocktail attire
• We're having a celebration at a cocktail bar in the city
• White is not mandatory - open to other colours
• Ideally midi or floor length
• Price: aiming for less than $1K (willing to go up to $2.5-$3K)
• I'm a size 16-18, hourglass figure, so brand would need to have plus size / larger options

Anyone own J.B. FIELD’S Wool Weekender socks (96% merino wool)?

I’m thinking of buying 3 pairs mainly for lounging around the house. I prefer clothing made from natural materials, so I was impressed to see these socks are 96% merino wool.

For anyone who owns them, how’s the durability? Do they hold up well over time, or do they develop holes or wear out quickly?

They have a store in Toronto that carries them, but I live about an hour away, so I’d love to hear some feedback before making the trip.

I’m looking for task/project management software that’s canadian owned and data stays in Canada. something similar to Asana, Monday.

Musts: colour coding, assigning tasks to others, calendar view

Do you know of anything?

Thanks all!

I am on the hunt for a necklace for my daughter’s upcoming birthday. As she is turning 7, I would prefer to not spend more than $75. If anyone has a suggestion for stores I would truly appreciate it.

asking because a family member took a quick trip to pickup something in hamilton and I was wondering if they'd be able to find cheezies at a convenience store on their way back?

Love LiveClean hand soap and body wash, but after finding it they're American owned now, Goodbye!

Anyone know of quality bulk Canadian low scent body wash and hand soap from Canadian retailers?

Thanks!

I recently came across Stephen King (not the other one). You can search by Stephen Graham King. he writes queer sci Fi what I will call capers and I am so impressed. I read the first in Souls Blood series and am reading Chasing Cold now. They're not too smutty. They're imaginative, interesting, and kind of easy reads. I'm sort of in love and I want to share because I do love to read Canadian authors and this has been right up my alley.

enjoy <3

Came across this guy while looking on FB Marketplace. I recently got into raw selvedge denim and was looking to get a quality denim jacket after buying a pair of jeans from Naked & Famous; we had a great conversation about his work proces and they were so courteous about what they could attempt and what they needed from me.

Based out of Niagra, Ontario. Please support them if you can! Really cool to see small bespoke makers.

Just got them today, ordered from red heart about 9 days ago, not bad going from Alberta to southern Ontario.

First impression is they are very high quality and the leather is very thick and durable looking!

To be honest the sole feels a little hard compared to my Bucks, and blundstones, but I think they just need to be worked in. This is also my first pair of good year welt boots too, so maybe that has something to do with it, who knows.

These are going to be my around the house work boots, I think I’ll still use Bucks for actual work, bc it’s my understanding their soles are more waterproof due to it not being a good year welt like the Canada westerns.

Either way I’m impressed and hoping these last for a long time! Also shoutout to red heart for the free mink oil and making sure I got my sizing correct before mailing.
