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 looked them up after they were mentioned in this week's amazing race episode. I don't have experience with the coffee itself, but what I found cool was this:

Transport

Cargo Sailboat

It began as a bold idea. Daring, ambitious, maybe even a little bit wild. Now our cargo sailboat carries coffee beans from Colombia to Quebec, steering our mission to craft the world’s most sustainable coffee.

Then on this page: https://cafewilliam.com/pages/coffee-sailing-journey

For the fourth time, our coffee will make its way from the Caribbean by sail, reducing transportation-related emissions by 80%. This year marks our largest shipment yet: 1,000 tonnes of green coffee will make the crossing.

On August 6, 2026, our team and ambassadors will come aboard. Follow along for a behind-the-scenes look at life at sea, navigation and the challenges of the open ocean.

Based on this post, the shipment arrived this week: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc4ayobMrC9

After 22 days at sea, our organic and fair-trade coffee beans, sourced from cooperatives in Colombia and Honduras, have arrived in Montreal aboard the cargo sailship Neoliner Origin and have been unloaded!

To celebrate their arrival, we had the pleasure of bringing together partners, collaborators and coffee enthusiasts at the @portmtl to mark this important milestone in the journey of our beans!

Next stop: roasting Alizé coffee in Sherbrooke, using our electric industrial roaster. ⚡

What made-in-Canada cleaning solutions are people using with their robot vacuums? Every manufacturer will try to get you to buy their overpriced solution, but as long as it's a floor cleaner that's plastic-safe, non-foaming to avoid clogs, and a 200:1 ratio concentrate, it should be fine.

More info from a repair person in this reddit thread:

Don't use soaps, detergents, alcohols, oils, essential oils, hydrogen peroxide, acids like vinegar, anything with bleach, household floor cleaning products or anything thick and viscous. These things can damage or clog your robovac.

EDIT:

  • Swish Cleaning recommended their Clean & Green #4 Neutral Floor Cleaner Concentrate (SKU 65324-CG) diluted 1:256. They also recommended Sunbeam Neutral Floor Cleaner (SKU 4020-F4) diluted at 1:100

I bought them as a gift. Really cute stocking stuff I think. They are in Calgary and ship super quick. Love the little card with the details on each pick.

The Unscented Company, a Montreal-based home and body care business, stopped contracting the production of its soaps out to a Vermont company, instead bringing it north of the border.

I got some really nice espresso glasses

First time trying these out, they’re the Kruve Propel glasses. I got them from Cafuné out in Montreal.

These glasses are awesome. Double walled where the drink sits/where you hold it, single walled where you drink from, and internal fins to allow you to properly mix your shot from just swirling instead of needing to stir with a spoon. And the aromas you get from the glass when you’re about to drink, truly wonderful. Highly, highly recommended. I’ll be buying myself more of these in the future for sure.

I'm currently saving up for various car parts for an older car. I'd been using an american site like rockauto as it was easy to filter out and find the exact part I need.

Are there any Canadian alternatives I can look for?

Visa takes 2.5% and is American.

Interac is Canadian.

If you’re buying online then most debit cards will use visa anyway unfortunately, but for in person there is a difference.

My guide to buying more Canadian / less American

In Person Groceries ➡️ Go basically anywhere but Walmart. Look for “Product of Canada” on packaging. “Made in Canada” is 2nd best. If the company is Canadian that is the 3rd best. For produce with no packaging ask someone at the store or use one of the buy Canadian apps.

Instacart (ordering groceries) ➡️ Voila (and use the shop local option in the app when possible) or https://montreal.lufa.com/en/marketplace/category/your-local-marketplace/specials

Amazon ➡️ Home Hardware, Canadian Tire, Princess Auto, KMS Tools, BMR, and Lee Valley for in person shopping. If you’re going to order online use the Canadian Tire App.

Google Drive ➡️ Sync. If anyone uses someone’s referral code they both get 1 extra GB so here’s mine. https://www.sync.com/?_sync_refer=181a30ae0

Netflix ➡️ Crave and CBC Gem

Disney Plus and Prime ➡️ Ahoy Matey, Sail the Seas

Uber Eats ➡️ Skip the Dishes

Burger King / Mcdonalds ➡️ A&W, Law & Order, Harvey's, or any local restraunt / https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_restaurant_chains

Starbucks / Mcdonalds Coffee ➡️ A local cafe or second Cup. Tim Hortons is half owned by an American company.

Subway ➡️ Mr Sub

Play Books (ebooks/ audio books app) ➡️ Kobo

Amazon ➡️ https://www.singingpebblebooks.ca/ for physical books

Dairy Queen ➡️ Chapmans from grocery store

Microsoft Office > https://www.libreoffice.org/ or you can host an Etherpad server https://etherpad.org/about

Pet Smart ➡️ Pet Valu or Ren's Pets

Default Android Apps by Google (messages/phone/contacts/notes/file explorer/gallery/etc...) ➡️ Various Fossify Apps (not Canadian but is open source and has no tracking)

Google Maps ➡️ HERE WeGo

Spotify ➡️ Qobuz

Google Search ➡️ Qwant

Tap with your Visa ➡️ Tap with your interact debit card

I asked an instructor about brands, and he recommended Rival. They seem popular online too, based on some old Reddit threads.

At Rival, the belief is that while other companies are businessmen trying to infiltrate the boxing world, Rival is proud to be boxing people trying to infiltrate the business world.

Everybody that works for Rival is, in one way or another, connected to boxing. As a result, Rival’s product ranges are created from a boxing perspective and the company takes real pride in its designs, technologies and innovations.

Now that Moneris sold to USA, which sells machines you use to pay via Debit, how do you plan on paying in-store?

Are you guys planning on using cash? How do you hell do you manage so much cash? Card is just so much easier. Especially when its comes to cents.
