I’ve been doing the ‘buy Canadian’ thing for a few years now. I actually enjoy the game of trying to find cool folks making cool stuff and I know that there are others like me just like there are people who lack the time or inclination to do the research.
I also think it can be tricky for people looking at starting a business to be able to identify a need.
So what’s a product you don’t know of a Canadian alternative to?
Personally, it’s cast iron cookware. Meyer makes great stainless stuff, but there isn’t a single foundry making cast iron cookware in Canada. I’ve actually started emailing a few to see if I can find a Canadian foundry that would be willing to batch produce cast iron skillets. Finding a local brand already doing it would be a LOT easier!

But they are vegan because no actual honey is used. I wonder how detrimental for sales this technicality is. As a vegan, I wouldn’t even consider looking at it from the name alone, but it’s nice that it is a vegan option.
Edit: Holy shit, $11 for 280g??? That’s crazy.

It’s not priced that way because it’s vegan. Vegan knockoff Cheerios are dirt cheap.
With the amount of cheerios we go through there’s no way I could afford this sadly. I wish Quaker would just make some plain cheerios!
For now we’re just eating a lot more plain oatmeal.
