#buycanadian

98 posts54 participants2 posts today

How I #buyCanadian is like this:
1. Look at the shelves for a maple leaf
2. Pull up #MapleScan on my cellphone
3. Double check by scanning it
4. If it’s a store brand, like No Name by Loblaws, but not a product of Canada, OR it says made in canada but NOT by a canadian company or parent company, I start scanning products on the shelf without a maple leaf.
5. Often times there ARE products on the shelf which are a true “ #productofCanada ”, by #canadiancompanies, sans maple leaf sticker with the price tag.

I’ll opt for #100%canadian where I can, mostly Canadian second, lastly made anywhere but the US.

#BuyCanadian tip: I don’t think I have posted about my new protein powder yet.
I used to get Diesel Whey Isolate until they suddenly upped the price by $25. 😳

My requirements are: Canadian company, whey isolate with ~3g lysine and leucine each, low calcium, stevia, 3rd party tested.

Now buying Body Energy Club Clean isolate! The vanilla is actually nicer than Diesel’s and it’s a whopping $40 cheaper!! Ships free in the 2kg container.

Also buying their creatine!

For those of you who are curious to know how's life at the prison in El Salvador where people are being deported from the USA, there's a documentary. Mexican journalists were aloud to spend one night at the prison. The documentary is in Spanish.

Przy okazji czytania o kanadyjskim bojkocie amerykańskich produktów trafiłem na tę stronę. Ładnie zaprojektowana, przejrzysta, dostarczająca wielu informacji w paru kliknięciach.

Historia i przyczyny powstania też są dobrze opisane, poniżej wrzucam dwa cytaty.

"Born at the height of the US/Canada trade spat, Made in CA is compiling a list of Canadian products in one place, so you can support Canadian businesses and Canadian workers. We’re also a fine resource if you’re looking for alternatives to Chinese-made products, given the country’s recent anti-Canadian actions."

"Made in CA was founded in 2018 out of frustration with the tariff battles with the U.S. and the unfair practices of other trade partners. As Canadians, we wanted to take action. That’s why we started compiling a list of products and services made in Canada—so consumers could feel confident that their dollars were making the greatest possible impact on the Canadian economy."

I know Petvalu is not perfect, partial ownership by an American private equity firm. But it's still mostly a Canadian brand, operated here.

Quite different than bilionnaire brand Petsmart.

Tried to find truly Canadian alternatives but Global Pet Food doesn't have an online shop. Ren’s Pets is not bad but didn't have the litter I need and the size of the cat food was way too big for our condo
