Alternatives I Have Personally Tried And Liked

In Person Groceries > Basically anywhere but Walmart. Look for “Product of Canada” on packaging. “Made in Canada” is 2nd best. If the company is Canadian that is the 3rd best. For produce with no packaging ask someone at the store.

Ordering Groceries > Voila if you’re not in BC, Save-On-Foods if you are in BC. I use Voila and it even has a shop Canadian tab.

Amazon > Home Hardware, Princess Auto, KMS Tools, BMR, and Lee Valley for in person shopping. If you’re going to order online use the Canadian Tire App.

Google Drive > Sync. If anyone uses someone’s referral code they both get 1 extra GB so here’s mine. https://www.sync.com/?_sync_refer=181a30ae0

X > Mastadon / Bluesky

Netflix and Prime > Crave and CBC Gem

Disney Plus > Ahoy Matey, Sail the Seas

Uber Eats > Skip the Dishes

Burger King / Mcdonalds > Any of these companies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_restaurant_chains

Starbucks / Mcdonalds Coffee > A local cafe or second Cup. Tim Hortons is owned by an American company.

Subway > Mr Sub

Shop local for clothes and shoes (but if you’re tall like me, there is much more work to do to find tall clothes online).

What I’m Trying Next

Youtube Premium for my Smart TV > https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube (for PC just use Firefox with ublock origins)

Play Books For Audio Books > Libby with a library card

Amazon > https://www.singingpebblebooks.ca/ for physical books

Diary Queen > A local ice cream parlour. I have one down the street from me I might try.

Google Docs > https://etherpad.org/
