I did some grocery shopping… Found some BC blueberries and Québec
raspberries

J’ai fait mon épicerie… j’ai trouvé des bleuets de la Colombie-Britannique et des framboises du Québec
Update after two weeks.
I have tried two Canadian domiciled email services and nili.ca wins. The server is fast and I seem to be getting everything (so far at least).
Not sure how secure it is but if all you want is a place to send your subscriptions mail, it’s a good solution.
I also tried omail.ca but it is only a beta version right now and I was initially unable to get it to work and found it very slow.
‘Buy Canadian’ movement pushes Purdys to sell outside own stores for first time in 118-year-old history
Purdys Chocolatier says the buy Canadian movement has generated so much demand for its products that it decided to sell them outside its own stores for the first time in its 118-year-old history
Peaches are here!
… oh. US peaches.
I shall wait, then. #elbowsUp

Just another reason to #BuyCanadian and not spend a cent on #America: it's just one more thing truly unsafe & outright gross about that country #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli
Yay, unhappy with hardware shop prices and sizes, I had eventually found cheaper #acetone sold at a drug store, but in tiny bottles, with glycerine etc in it as well.
On your tips, I found one of the Dollarstore brands without any additional additives and in a good middle-ish size.
And made in Canada too. $3.25.

Dear USA
Your 'democracy' is not under attack.
You do not have a 'problem' with racism.
Your economy isn't 'facing challenges'.
Genocide is not 'fighting terrorism'.
Fascism is not 'balanced debate'.
Despair is not a 'mental health issue'.
You're just the 'bad guys' now, and this is how bad guys talk.
These look really interesting. I am super super picky with my mouse, as I am guessing most people are, but it’s made in Canada eh?! So definitely it’s worth a try. As for the negative comment about too expensive, you can download the designs and print your own, built your own circuit boards etc https://github.com/ploopyco

Happy #CanadaDay , everyone! #BuyCanadian
While I realize we don’t grow #coffee in #Canada, I have been looking for a Canadian-owned company that roasts and sells here. There are actually many. One in particular caught my attention: Just Us! Coffee (yes, with the !), based in Nova Scotia. Bonus, it’s worker-owned! #BuyCanadian
I believe supporting Canadian domain digital service companies starts with our personal and business email and cloud account(s), as these represent the most fundamental aspect of our online profile.
As I try wean myself off American service providers,
I am continuing to look for reliable and secure Canadian email options.
Does anyone have experience with https://omail.ca/?
Gun smuggling into Canada
Now is the time to renew your efforts to #buyCanadian.
So far so good with setting up my new Canadian domociled email account with https://nili.ca.
As a small company, they don’t offer a downloadable app so you have to use your own email client. They provide a tool to email yourself the account settings to type in the IMAP or POP configuration. After that, sending and receiving works.
The biggest problem I’ve encountered is the AutoCorrect keeps wanting to change nili to Nike. :/
Canada people! Where can one find a good ergonomic/gaming chair for short people?
We have a couple of Secret Lab chairs in the house, but was hoping to go more Canadian this time. But all of the options seem to be for people 165cm or up. I don't quite fit that and always have to compromise when it comes to chairs for me. Secret Labs has a model for short people... but it's also a hefty price.
I decided to go ahead and give them a try. It isn’t free, $25 for first year with the “WELILIN” promo code, but it’s not too expensive either so if it ends up not being legit, then I’m not too far out. They do have a GST registration number so that lends some credibility. They appear to be based out of north Toronto.
I will update this thread once the email has been set up, which apparently takes a day.
