  • Yeah, lately I’m finding I need to make trade-offs about what is important to me. Ideally I’d want Canada-owned/Canada-made AND less single use plastic, but sometimes I need to settle for something I can find, at least for things like dental floss where it’s a hygiene thing. (Though nice-to-have stuff I can just not buy it at all.)

    Hmm. Something alliterative is always fun.

    "Try Canadian Tuesday,’ ‘Made in Canada Monday.’ Though using a day in the name implies it’s a particular day thing.

    If you don’t want to use a specific day, could do something like ‘Weekly Northern Novelties,’ ‘The Maple Market Mission’ or ‘Buy Canada Challenge’ or something like that.




  • Suggestion: A weekly challenge thread for people to try at least one new Canadian product and post about it.

    I’ve been doing this in my personal life. I find it shifts my thinking away from ‘ugh, I can’t find X’ and more towards 'Hey, what options are there that I have never considered because I’ve been sleepwalking through shopping and buying brands I recognize?"
