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.

Winnipeg-based autonomous welding robotics company TetraGen Robotics has raised $1.8 million CAD in seed round funding.

Founded in 2022 by former University of Manitoba Intelligent Digital Manufacturing Lab founder Matt Khoshdarregi, TetraGen’s tech combines the traditional chassis of a welding robot with proprietary AI software and machine vision. The company markets its robots as being “manual programming-free,” meaning they do not require humans to set up complex welding instructions and can automatically generate programming to adapt to real-world circumstances.

Autonomous robots, sometimes called “cobots,” are increasingly common in industrial welding, with the Canadian Welding Bureau updating its official standards in 2025 to reflect the change. Likewise, many post-secondary institutions now include robotics in their curriculum. As Canada looks towards a shortage of skilled trades workers in welding, robotic systems are seen as a way to bridge the gap.

Looking for an alternative website hoster & builder. Not something in USA for various reasons including southern data centres having a tendency to run their machines using fossil fuels instead of the much cleaner energy we have here in Canada.

Looking for beer in the 10%+ range but I'm struggling to find it.

Edit: You've all helped greatly.

Hope this is cool to post here... Just wanted to say a quick hello to the neighborhood and share a little labor of love we're baking up to bring some sweetness to the area (Stockyards, Toronto, ON)!

We recently took a leap of faith, trading our comfort zone to bake real comfort.

As a side note: it's crazy how much red tape there is just to sell food in Toronto! We have the utmost respect for anyone who took the courage to start any food venture here.

I've been baking cookies from scratch since I was 10 and these are still the best cookies I've ever tried.

Forgive the terrible photo, but wanted to share this Canadian company that sells bed linens (manufactured in Portugal). We got the flax linen sheets and muslin coverlet, as we wanted natural fibres to avoid getting too hot on these summer nights. It is the first time my husband has not woken up too hot in….ever? They are an investment, but they feel delightful and are really well made!

TLDR Health Canada > CDC+FDA. Don't eat American produce if you don't wanna poop your pants.

By February 2026, USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service had lost 913 staff, while the Food and Nutrition Service lost 564. The agency’s National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection was also axed. All told, more than 20,000 workers left USDA last year.

Cyclosporiasis is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis, a single-celled parasite that lives exclusively in humans and causes particularly violent and long-lasting diarrhea. Infection is almost always through ingesting food or water contaminated with feces containing cyclospora oocysts; these take many days to become infectious, so person-to-person transmission is very unlikely.

In an American context, cyclosporiasis outbreaks are almost always caused by improper sanitation at farms or food processing facilities. Farmers around the world routinely refuse to provide adequate toilet or handwashing facilities for their workers if they think they can get away with it, to save money.

PS:

IMO we're going to see quality control issues in every single American export. I would be extremely wary of using medications or medical devices produced in the USA. With no government entities enforcing regulations we have to assume corners will be cut at the expense of quality and safety.

Wondering what's the best option to buy and sell the occasional thing here and there that isn't Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Any grassroots medium with decent traction?

We have window screens with punctured holes in them. Any recommendation for replacements or repair kits that are made in Canada?

I’m forming my own Canadian vehicle consumables list to keep the money within the country.

The last place that did my oil change used 83% of materials from American brands.

Wanted to share how happy my pup was with the treats and food toppers from Shades of Gray.

She is a picky eater and tends to avoid eating her breakfast. Using the topper, she has been gobbling down her food! The treat sticks have also helped her cope with the indignities of bath time.

Highly recommend for dog owners out there. Looks like they have cat treats too!
