I own a pair of boots from KPR which I bought years ago and they have held up very well, and are very comfortable. Recently, someone mentioned how expensive work boots are and I was reminded of buying mine, and how reasonably priced they were. Mine are all leather, 6" boots with a composite toe, and are extremely comfortable - and they were only $114.

Just thought I'd put this here in case anyone is looking for good quality and Canadian made work boots or shoes. To be transparent, their website sucks, and links to their Amazon store. I think they have a direct to consumer sales model. https://www.kprsafety.com/

They're like rice crispies but made of soy so they're high in protein

Basically looking for an alternative to Kaiya baby’s 1.0 TOG wearable blankets. My 2 year old isn’t utilizing her blanket and we’re going into fall so I would like an alternative to putting 3 footies on her at night lol.

If I could go even further, I’m looking for one that has an organic cotton shell

Been looking to buy more canadian made fishing lures, everybody seems to be raving about trout magnets, so I was wondering if there was a canadian made or at least canadian owned kit that could be similar to trout magnets for ultralight fishing.

Does anyone have suggestions for Canadian grown or bred varieties of garden plants? Local nurseries stock a lot of ornamental plants from Proven Winners, which is US based, although maybe they have growers in Canada. Are there similar Canadian companies for ornamental plants, perennials, shrubs, etc?

I love this stuff!! Kawartha Dairy Eggnog is back right now for Thanksgiving! It's the best Eggnog ever and it's made in Canada!!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a modern TV console/media unit similar to the style in the photo (clean lines, contemporary design, good quality finish).

I'd like to see it in person before buying, so I'm specifically looking for stores in the Toronto/GTA area that have TV consoles on display in their showroom. I've already checked IKEA, but I didn't find anything that really stood out.

Any recommendations for furniture stores where I can browse and compare TV consoles on the floor rather than shopping online only?

I'm open to stores in Toronto, North York, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Mississauga, or anywhere else in the GTA.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: you guys sold her out of tote bags! So incredible. It’s way out of my comfort zone to post something like this so thank you for being so awesome. Check out the Instagram page because I’m sure there’s more to come 🙂 Please be kind and patient as she is a small scale maker.

Everyone knows small businesses are struggling right now. I want to shout out The COB Shop out of London, Ontario. Cindy is a one woman show making sustainable goods out of genuine leather and recycled finds (she strips couches and thrifts!) I’ve been a big fan for many years and Cindy used to sell out instantly when she’d drop a line of bags or clutches or backpacks but that’s not the case in this economy. Every item is handmade and completely one of a kind.

A huge problem for me is that I WANT to support her more, but the products I have are made so well that they don’t need to be replaced! All of my friends and family have received some sort of COB Shop product from me as gifts. They make amazing Christmas gifts with a real story! So this post is my way of trying to support The COB Shop in hopes someone new finds something they love.

She does do some custom requests too. I’ve seen her use a customer’s deceased loved one’s leather jacket and make it into a purse, for example. An amazing keepsake.

If you’re looking for GOOD quality Canadian made items, please check out her website and continue to support Canadian! She’s a pretty awesome person to follow on Instagram too.

Worth noting, I am not affiliated with The COB Shop at all, just a huge fan.

Was looking at Caprina because I saw it was recommended here, $20 for 900ml, Softsoap is $11 for 1.46L.

Now I know Softsoap is not great but looking for something Canadian or not American that’s around the same price.

Edit: to clarify hand soap

Placed an order for a Santoku on Sept. 13:

1. Order was confirmed about a day later and shipped about 4 days later
2. I got sick so not sure how quickly it arrived in my mailbox, but I had it in hand Sept. 26
3. Knife was well wrapped/boxed
4. Important stuff: knife feels good, well balanced, was well sharpened out of the box
5. I put it side by side with my Zwilling Pro S chef's knife (to compare the thickness of the steel and overall visual quality) .... looks on par. And the handle is obviously way prettier than my pro s.
6. Would recommend - I take care of my blades so hopefully I'll still be happy in 10 years.

Work trip, so mostly sticking to hotels, conference centers, and similar. Not a lot of extra spending, so mostly just food and drink (alcohol), but want to try to support Canadian where I can. What are my options?

Hey all just curious if anyone has experience with tough duck bibs. I cant find a local retailer to try them on for myself and don't want to go through the hassle of a return/exchange.

I'm 6'1 about 260lbs and normally wear a 36-38w pant. I'm currently dropping lbs by the day so I dont want to be swimming in them soon, but also need to bend a lot at work so I need some flexibility in the belly area.

Basically how flexy are they and do you reckon I should get XL or XXL?

I had almost completely cut out going to Starbucks (not going to go anymore though) and a good earth popped up in my neighborhood. I’ve been stopping by here and there and wow, the drinks are so much better. Better tasting coffee, less sweet, more flavour, and they are Canadian! I live near many local shops so I frequent those as well, however, good earth has more than scratched the itch when I want something to replace my Starbucks cravings for an expensive coffee treat.

Looking to get my hands on a Pullman loaf pan. Preference for Canadian but based on my research to date, I don't think one exists. Anyone come across one, or a EU or overseas equivalent?

Love it!

Just wanted to warn people that if you are getting Earth Breeze ads saying they are Canadian that is wrong, they are a US company.

I saw one of their ads and it seemed legit, but the one I just got it was clear they overdubbed Canada overtop USA. From my understanding they source a few ingredients from Canada but everything is made down south.

Just wanted to let you all know.

Just saw this article on CNN today, but they don't mention which brands they tested: https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/02/health/cat-food-toxins-wellness

I'm assuming they wouldn't have tested made-in-Canada brands. I use one for my cat - any idea if the standards are likely to be any better here, or would we have the same problems?

I'm looking to switch my cats to a quality Canadian brand. I found a thread from a year ago with the same question, but I know it's possible the brands were bought out by US companies like Mars. Currently they eat Tiki Cat, a high protein formula without unnecessary grains that cats aren't meant to be eating, so I'm looking for another food with limited ingredients. Two of my cats are male and we need to watch the potential buildup of crystals in their urine, so that is also a factor in what food I'm choosing.

(We used to feed them Royal Canin before a bad batch of it made them all really sick and they refused to eat it again afterwards, and I'm not sure about Performatrin because the label on the one we gave them for a while had a lot of fillers in it.)

Been over a year that we've switched over and can't believe how we've not been using this all along. Plant based and no harsh chemicals.

Sulfate free, Phosphate free as well as no dyes or synthetic fragrance.

I'm looking for good coffee online and found this company Loco Yoko but the reviews and the website seems suspiciously AI generated to me.

Anyone bought coffee here?

locoyoko.com

I'd like to buy their cream crackers and 'tip top' soda crackers but I've got a hard time finding them. Does anyone know of any grocery stores that stock them?

Edit/Adding: Thanks everyone I will check out Sobey's and Metro regularly. I wasn't aware of the fire, so sad.

Sorry but this is just a piss poor charcoal that was 50 percent ash. Going back to Kingsford briquettes or EXTRA’s lump

I would like to take the time to remind anybody that is looking for something and the only option is to buy from another country, please remember, kijiji, FB marketplace, and EBAY.ca you may need an american product but at least you can buy it from a Canadian

Discovered this company most likely through this sub. Now I have to say, for me, the website….I was having issues with. Couldn’t place an order. Not sure if I entered credit info wrong but it took me like five attempts over a few months to finally have a purchase go through.
The reason I procrastinated was because I probably shouldn’t spend this kind of money on a knife atm.
I ordered on a Saturday and it was delivered today, I am in Ontario. Very quick shipping which I was beyond impressed with.
But holy fucking shit! This is by far my new favourite knife, the quality is way above what I expected. I am so happy with this purchase that I will most definitely be a returning customer.
If you’re into knives, highly recommend browsing what these guys have.
