Hey everyone.

I thought I’d make a post for anyone to comment on with suggestions they’d like to see in this community. Seeing as it’s starting to get quite a bit more active, and now that we have several mods, we should probably make it more professional looking, with a proper sidebar and maybe some other features you might have seen in another community that you liked.

If anyone has seen ideas they’d like to see here, feel free to suggest them in the comments on this post and myself and the other mods can possibly implement them. I’ll leave this post pinned so it’s easy to access, in case you read this and have an idea later on.

Please support Chapman's between Covid and Tariffs. These guys have been doing the right thing.

Don’t give your information to the US Customs and Border Protection. (CBP)

Nobody should be travelling to the US anyways.

This is Atlantic Superstore - which I try to avoid because they've seriously raised their prices due to corporate greed.

I do think this is cool but it's probably to ward off complaints of why the thing is now more than 25% more expensive. It will be interesting to see if they use this as an excuse to jack up other prices for items not under a tariff.

It's Superstore, so I expect yes.

Chapman’s, the country's only national, Canadian-owned ice cream brand, says consumers will not be paying higher prices for ice cream this season, even though the trade war with the U.S. will increase their operating costs. The company says it will need to move on from U.S. suppliers, some of whom they’ve had decades-long relationships with, and find new international contracts for various materials for their ice cream.

Just like the title states. Don’t want to buy Scope/Crest/Listerine products anymore. Looking for a Canadian alternative that has fluoride in it. An EU product would also suffice if nothing Canadian is available.

I’ve been shopping from these guys for years now. I have several belts, a couple wallets, a couple bags, a hat (unfortunately the hat isn’t made in Canada, just the leather emblem), and a bunch of smaller accessories. They aren’t cheap, but not crazy expensive either, and you definitely get what you pay for. They’re the only ones I buy from now. They also go on sale frequently too. They currently have a site-wide 25% sale, but they also sometimes have up to 40% off sales too.

Silk brand is made in the USA. Earth's own is Canadian.

Seeing as they're getting targeted right now and are first on trump's chopping block...

I mean, it's not like we buy lumps of steel but... I dunno, I figure I'd turn it to the wisdom of the crowds. I know steel/aluminum are mostly input products but there have to be finished products from friendly countries/Canada which use steel and aluminum and thus support our industry, albeit indirectly, right?

Like the title says. Is there a Canadian equivalent to Shelly sensors and switches?

Alternatively, Shelly is made in Bulgaria.... So at least it isn't American, is there a Canadian distributor?

And if there isn't, it sounds like a business opportunity...

Just came across this while scrolling pixelfed!

A Canadian hosted search engine.

I have been using Ecosia, but will have to try this out.

Trying to replace all my US based big-tech choices for Canadian alternatives.

Main ones:

  • cloudflare (domain and site hosting)
  • bitwarden
  • discord (a true alternative, but not sure if there is one)

Willing to hear of other recommendations for daily software as well :)

I've got a handful of domains coming up for renewal. Do you know of a low-cost Canadian Registrar that supports scripted/API management so I can keep my dynamic DNS updated?

I know about EasyDNS, but they want an extra $20/yr/domain for dynamic DNS. All the other Canadian registars I've looked at have no API support.
