  • Royale diapers & toilet paper
  • Niuriss baby formula
  • All Clean baby wipes
  • Ecomax & unscented company's soap/cleaning products (ecomax dishwasher packs work better than finish and are cheaper)
  • Napoleon natural fibre BBQ bristle brush (regular wire brushes are extremely dangerous), and their Prestige BBQs (made in Canada)
  • Camino sugar and chocolate (I have never tasted better brown sugar)
  • Home Hardware has a lot of Canadian stuff
  • Balzacs coffee beans (updated)
  • QE Home Linens

I gave up charmin and begrudgingly buy royale. But every time i see the irving logo, i die a bit

I thank my butthole for enduring this

PS. We need bidets in this country

Edit: i dont think napoleon grill brushes are made in canada. https://www.napoleon.com/en/ca/barbecues/made-canada

Unfortunately not made in Canada :(, but at least a Canadian company. I posted this as I saw Smarter every day's YouTube about making a made in US bristle-less BBQ brush, and wanted to see our closet option here.

Yes agree 100% about Charmin, bidets, and Royale endurance. The Japanese style toilets are the way to go.

I stopped using peanut butter and instead buy the Nuts to You brand sunflower seed butter. Started getting it since it's a Canadian company, and they source the sunflower seeds from Saskatchewan. It was a small adjustment at first, but I've been loving it the last few months and it's become a regular purchase.

There is an increase in cost swapping from regular peanut butter to this, but it's been a change I've thankfully been able to afford.
