Window Screens (piefed.ca)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by dudesss@piefed.ca to c/buycanadian@lemmy.ca

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!

Hope you guys don't mind me posting this in this community. Upvote or downvote if you like or dislike it.

Particularly would love a Fairphone. Have considered buying from https://clove.co.uk/ and have considered asking if friends in Europe would be willing to ship.

But before I do, I want your opinions. Does anyone have any good options?

I'm not looking to buy a Pixel nor a Samsung of some cracked convenient store version of a smartphone.

I've never used GoDaddy. I don't know what it is other than being a domain registrar and also offering Outlook 365 for a higher price.

How would you convince someone of an alternative to it? I'm looking to know what services they offer so I can offer alternatives for them.

Are they a website builder as well?

Is A&W Canadian? (sh.itjust.works)

Just found out this Wikipedia article where it says its american: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_Restaurants

But then in there there is a link to this other article where it says that A&W Canada is actually a separate Canadian company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_(Canada)

Kind of confusing to be honest but if I understood correctly, it seems like buying in there is not supporting the americans, am I right?

Sunscreen (sh.itjust.works)

What’s your favourite Canadian sunscreen. I want a chemical one, not mineral. If the company sells lotions and sprays that’s a bonus

Hi Buy Canadian Lemmy,

I spent a long time making these botanical micro-art trading cards for myself. They are for each province and territory of Canada. Kind of a hobby that got out of hand. I made everything by hand, locally and offline, so every individual card has some variations to them.

I’m really curious if others would ever want something like this as Canadian made micro-art collectables, happy to figure out if it’s just me who likes them or?

I added a url for a waitlist (recommended to make one by a friend for this), just to see if anyone anywhere might be interested in my crafts. Not sure if it worked, as I've been on lemmy for a while but these are my first posts.

Thanks

Sometime ago I bought a Peugeot pepper mill and it came with a small sample of their own black pepper. I was shocked at how much stronger, hot and nice the taste and smell was compared whatever I had in a jar from the grocery store. It reminded me of black pepper I was used to some decades ago back in Europe.

I bought a few packets of this Peugeot pepper and it really is great, but it's also expensive. Given what I know about coffe and irs flavours, I'm guessing most of it comes down to how fresh the pepper is.

Do you know of a source that sells fresh black pepper?

Besides there being little to no laptop chargers being made in Canada, are there any recommended distributors selling them?

Looking for good quality playing cards that could be an alternative to US Playing Card Co. (makers of Bicycle and a large variety of other decks). But it looks like it and its Belgian parent company (Cartamundi) owns nearly the whole market for playing cards. Is there no local printer for good quality playing card decks?

A relative of mine plays Bridge a lot and goes through standard playing card decks more often than most. So I thought getting a bunch of decks from a quality Canadian or non-US supplier might be a nice gift if one exists.

They should be standard 54 card decks, no fancy designs needed, it just needs to be a few steps up in quality from the flimsy dollar store decks and souvenir card decks...
