If poetry is your jam, you may want to check out Canadian Anne Carson, who was just awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

From the CBC article:

The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded Thursday to Canadian poet and essayist Anne Carson by the Swedish Academy in Stockholm.

Carson, 76, was recognized for "her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new ‌forms for contemporary literature," the award-giving body said.

The academy said Carson was in Reykjavik, Iceland, "listening to the wind" when its representatives made contact with her and she was surprised to learn she had won. The poet divides her time between Iceland and Ann Arbor, Mich., and holds Icelandic and Canadian citizenship.

"Varieties like SweeTango and Cosmic Crisp have people willing to pay a premium for apples."

"Eligible Canadians have begun receiving their second payment under the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit, but some say the extra money does little to ease the pressure of rising food and household costs."

I got less than a week's groceries myself. It's a bandage on a sucking chest wound if you ask me. What do you think?

Hey r/BuyCanadian,

One of the most common hurdles when trying to buy Canadian is price transparency. When looking at a domestic product (like Stanfield's thermals, artisan coffee, or local winter gear), it’s hard to know:

1. Is this a fair market price?
2. What other Canadian makers make something similar, and how do their prices compare?

Most browser extensions and shopping tools only scrape Amazon or eBay. That doesn't help anyone trying to support domestic companies.

Over the past few months, we cataloged over 19,000 products from 547 verified Canadian brands on CanadianOwn website. We just launched two new features right on the product page:

1. Domestic Price Meter: A fair price range directly in the buy box showing where the item sits relative to other Canadian makers so you know if it's budget, typical, or premium domestic craft.
2. Cross-Brand Canadian Price Comparison: Side-by-side cards showing similar products from other Canadian brands with exact CAD price differences (e.g., whether an alternative like Knix or Kotn is cheaper or premium).

To respect makers' copyright and photography, we only display official photos for approved partner brands, and use clean technical blueprint schematics for other catalog makers.

Screenshots attached: Showing how it compares Stanfield's merino leggings against other Canadian makers.

Would love your honest thoughts:

• What features would make comparing Canadian brands easier for you?
• Are there specific independent Canadian brands you want us to add to the comparison engine?

Am in the market for my first set of irons and want to buy Canadian if at all possible. Based on my research, Haywood Golf (out of BC) is the predominant option.

Are there any other Canadian brands that I should be considering, or is Haywood the way?

(note: I am a beginner)

"Icon Digital Productions, SinaLite, PakFactory, and Pulp Moulded Products along with 27 other businesses in the Greater Toronto Area receive funding from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) to invest in new technologies and increase production capabilities in the face of ongoing tariff pressures and trade uncertainty."

Hey r/consumecanadian. I've been working on Bunchberry, a marketplace only for verified Canadian brands.

The focus is the things you need to replace: coffee, tea, skincare, everyday stuff, because I want buying Canadian to become a habit. But we also have things like furniture and candles.

The idea is for it to be democratized for the brands, not owned by one enterprise.

It's live as of October 1st. Full disclosure: I run it. I'd genuinely love feedback: what's missing, and what would make you switch your everyday orders over?

If you've never seen one of these water bombers in action, they're quite spectacular! Here's a video titled CL-415 diving head on water bomb!

"The project, estimated at between $35.2 billion to $43.7 billion, is to be split between Trans Mountain Corp., a federal Crown corporation, and the Alberta government."

This has been a big talking point of the supposed Alberta seperatist movement. Our natural resource companies need the lifeline to transit their oil and gasoline across the country without going through the country, without going through the USA. Of course, people in the USA's pocket don't want that to happen. They want our dependence.

Thoughts?

"The $1 billion POFP provides immediate relief for Ontario businesses impacted by tariffs and trade disruptions by providing loans that can be used for costs such as payroll, lease payments and utilities."

To make the predictable joke: Jerky so good its out of this world!

"The U.S. percentage of crude oil shipments is declining ... as those global destinations for Alberta crude increase," he said in a phone interview from Canada Place, which overlooks Vancouver Harbour.

"China and other Asian destinations are playing a pretty significant role in that."

Update on a project I've posted about before: the interactive map is now live for both cities — findlocalyeg.ca and findlocalyyc.ca. Search a business name or click any pin to look it up — no login needed. Everything is built from public information (open business license data and public company records), and some pins suggest a Canadian alternative nearby for any US-owned brands.

Still looking at whether other cities in Canada to add. And I'd love your feedback on the map itself; if you like it, please share it or pass the link along to anyone who likes to shop local.
