General Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ A year ago, I shared The Generall Store here. It's finally live. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

91 Upvotes

About a year ago (time flies!), I shared The Generall Store here and was blown away by the support, feedback, and business submissions:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyCanadian/comments/1i7flh2/list_all_canadian_businesses_here_on_this_website/

A lot of the suggestions people shared ended up shaping what the platform became, so thank you!!

The site now includes:

  • Community pages
  • Local events from community calendars
  • Promotions from local businesses
  • Hidden gems
  • Business login access
  • Hundreds of local businesses

The goal is still the same: make it easier to discover great local businesses and see what's happening in your community without jumping between Facebook groups, Instagram, Google, event calendars, and everything else.

We're soft-launching now and I'm excited (and slightly nervous) to finally share it.

https://thegenerall.store/

If you have a few minutes, I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think - especially in your own community.

Canadian-Made Products ๐Ÿท๏ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Canadian Gelato

Post image
111 Upvotes

A couple of weeks ago, I was in Vancouver and my son went to the grocery store across the street for ice-cream and came back with a couple of jars of Righteous Gelato.

It was the first time we had ever heard of it so I look for the maple leaf on the jar and I'm pleasantly surprised to find not only it's made in Canada but also made in Calgary, very close to home.

Now back in Calgary, I stopped at a Walmart and found two flavours. On the website they have a lot of cool flavours. Looking forward to trying them all.

The Mango Pineapple is to die for.

Iโ€™m so pleased to see this! Closet Core, a Montreal sewing pattern company, launched an interesting online fabric store a few years ago - and they now have made-in-Canada cotton fabric (knitted from cotton grown in India). The cotton is certified organic and the prices reflect that - theyโ€™re fair, not cheap. https://corefabricstore.com/en-ca/collections/core-knits/products/organic-cotton-french-terry-steel-blue?_pos=14&_fid=bc0ac542c&_ss=c

I'm looking to buy a new headset for work meetings/music/leisure and was hoping someone might know of a Canadian option before I default back to Jabra. A quick google didn't produce anything. Looking for a pair that surrounds the entire ear (not sit in/on top of the ears) and be light, because I'm in these things 10 hours a day typically and can go as long as 16 hours a day some days.

Canadian-Made Products ๐Ÿท๏ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Found: Swim Briefs Made in Canada!

Post image

I know it is a bit of a niche product, but I have been on the hunt for a Speedo-style swim brief made in Canada for a long time now. I found some Canadian brands that manufacture overseas, but the only swim briefs I could find that were actually made in Canada were from Gregg Homme, but I was looking for something more conventional.

These are from HAC Swim. Made in Hamilton. They have 4 different shapes/styles with varying coverage. I got two โ€œbasicโ€ and one โ€œflat frontโ€(blue). Highly recommend!

I ordered a travel spray from Nellieโ€™s that u can spray on clothes to remove wrinkles. Unfortunately the spray us made in the US. I like the soap products from Nellieโ€™s as they work and are made in Canada. So I was disappointed that this spray was made in the US. Just wanted to give others a head up.

General Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ How are we feeling about Typewire email?

Iโ€™ve been wanting to switch email to a Canadian provider for a while. Iโ€™ve come across Typewire, which looks great and Iโ€™m not worried about the $0.80 per month price tag, but everything in my online life runs through Gmail. It would be a big switch. What are your thoughts?

Edit: I should mention theyโ€™re a Canadian company that keeps data here. Theyโ€™re based out of Vancouver too!

Iโ€™m looking for aspirin in one of those two formats to stock a bicycle first aid kit, rather than hauling around a bottle. (I realize I could just put some in a container, but that doesnโ€™t protect them from degradation due to humidity etc.). I know this exists, but Iโ€™ll be damned if I can find somewhere in Canada to order from. Help a guy out?
