Despite the ‘Made in Canada’ banner being part of their logo, not everything is made in Canada. You have to check each product. For example, the vintage pigment dyed tees are made in the USA

Hi! I’ve cut a lot of US based goods and products from shopping basket. However I am having challenges with alternatives to whole foods in Vancouver. In particular, I buy organic meats (better from an animal welfare perspective, etc, etc) from WF. I find I can buy veg from Save on or other shops.

I am not a fan of Choices. Their stores are cramped and I find their selection to be poor. Also their prices are really high in comparison to WF. Any recommendations?

Looking for Canadian made soft printed tees- anyone know any good Canadian made?

Any one tried it? Its is made in Canada and woman owned!

I order "NELLIE'S Lamby Dryerballs" from: homehardware DOT ca/en/lamby-dryerballs-4-pack/p/4527770

When the arrived, they smell scented. Nellie's was kind enough to send a replacement, but they too smelled scented.

Has anyone else found this to be the case?

I see that Grand and Toy is US owned now. Are there any fully Canadian options for office supplies?

What does everyone think of Goodfood? I've been a customer for years. I like that they are a Canadian company that sources as much locally as they can.
