    Anyone know a good Canadian Shampoo? I spent some time trying to find one and the best I could get was l’oreal for men, French company but it isn’t clear where it’s made.

    Edit : I bought some shampoo and toothpaste from Green Beaver. If it ends up being good I’ll probably swap to that.

      A rather expensive but well performing one is Jack59. They make the only conditioner bar I’ve actually liked. The shampoo bar is great too but it’s quite small for the price.

      For cheaper options, I believe many store brands have more local packagers, but you’d have to look into each one.

      I also use Unscented Company products but haven’t tried their shampoo/conditioner.

      Madeinca.ca lists a few others.

        Was going to suggest this too. We use attitude for all our shower products and have been happy with them for years. +1 for their bulk refill boxes too! Also using them for all our cleaning supplies and laundry supplies too. We have a bulk refill station of their products in the laundry room haha

    Three weeks ago Loblaws did a massive special on Driscoll’s strawberries.

    Last week, that supply chain seemed to be filled with Mucci’s strawberries from Ontario.

    I presume they’ve been hard at work in their supply chain across the board like this, and likely aren’t alone.

        They give the address of the hydroponics greenhouse in Ontario they’re grown at, so I don’t think so.

          This is really cool. Besides the US being malignant, fresh berries in the winter are typically air freight (they don’t last long enough for a truck ride from California) and that significantly increases the carbon footprint of the product. Growing them in a local greenhouse addresses both problems!

            I’m shocked at how much greenhouse stuff there is, actually. I was preparing to subsist on canned stuff whenever the US cut us off.

                I wonder if they’re using failed pot farms. From what I’ve seen of those places, that’s going to be the most secure and carefully climate-controlled lettuce ever grown.

              I’m shocked at how much greenhouse stuff there is, actually.

              I’ve found that there are multiple greenhouse lettuce growers in Alberta, of all places.
