If this site isn't quite what you're looking for, there are other people doing similar work. It's not about which site you use — it's about actually supporting Canadian. A few other resources worth knowing about:
- Made in CA ↗
A large, long-running directory of Canadian-owned and Canadian-made products organized by category, including dedicated grocery and clothing shopping guides. Started in 2018 during an earlier round of trade tension with the U.S.
- The Canada List ↗
A searchable, filterable directory for identifying whether a specific product is Canadian-owned, Canadian-made, or Canadian-sourced.
- foodowners.ca ↗
An interactive, sourced map of Canadian grocery stores, colour-coded by who ultimately owns them — click any store for its full ownership chain. Built independently, focused specifically on grocery, with a similar goal to this site.
- Main Street Canada ↗
A directory from Tod and Jocelyn Maffin spotlighting small Canadian businesses directly impacted by U.S. tariffs. Businesses can submit themselves; ad-free and non-profit.
- Unplug America ↗
A free guide, also from Tod and Jocelyn Maffin, listing Canadian alternatives to common American tech and software products — for anyone looking to move their day-to-day digital life off U.S. platforms.
- O SCANada ↗
A free mobile app from a Calgary mother-son team — scan a barcode or search a product, brand, or company name to check its Canadian status and see curated Canadian alternatives.
- Ocanova ↗
An online marketplace of Canadian vendors selling tens of thousands of products, with the manufacturing origin and shipping location shown on every listing.
- Indigenous Business Directory (Indigenous Services Canada) ↗
The federal government's searchable directory of Indigenous businesses. To be listed, a business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by First Nations, Inuit, or Métis people. Built mainly for procurement, so it leans toward suppliers and services, but anyone can search it.
- Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB) ↗
A national organization supporting Indigenous businesses, with a searchable member directory. Look for listings marked "CIB" (Certified Indigenous Business), which are at least 51% Indigenous-owned and controlled. The directory also includes non-Indigenous member companies.
