Hey everyone, just thought I’d let people know about !buycanadian@lemmy.ca and to go post over there, as it’s the far more active community. I’m sure most have heard of it already, but just in case you haven’t, I’m letting people know

Canadian Video Game Developers

by

So, some friends of mine tried “Fragpunk” last night and dragged me into trying it. Short version - don’t bother, I didn’t last 2 hours. It’s insanely jam packed with currencies and predatory micro-transactions, the most boring character designs I’ve ever seen in the genre, AI Slop art, insanely ugly weapon models, and it’s published by NetEase. That’s like a hundred red flags for what is, at best, a competent 5v5 hero shooter.

Can Canada create a food labeling system similar to this?

by

It’s confusing trying to buy Canadian with all the variations of made in, assembled in, grown in, packaged in, etc. Can we copy the Australian food labeling system, perhaps replacing the kangeroo with a maple leaf? I find this much clearer.

Golden Bonbon Nougat - Canadian Made Nougat

by

Originally from northern Italy, this made in Canada Nougat brand is by far my absolute favourite and go to for a treat. I have fond memories of my grandmother having these in a little candy dish and eating all of them! If you want a delicious snack, I definitely recommend these.

Autmog Pens

All made in Canada, all made individually. As such they sell out rather quickly, but you can sign up for emails whenever a new one drops

I don’t own any personally, but I know several people with their skinning knives (both for skinning and general knife use) and they all swear by them

Mary Brown’s is excellent Canadian chicken and taters

by

If you’ve never been, you really should try it. Their first restaurant was in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and all their food is 100% Canadian (to the best of my knowledge). It’s easily my favourite fast food place. Their Big Mary is the best fast food chicken sandwich I’ve ever had, and they’ve got my favourite taters too. Damn good food that I’d recommend to anyone
