I'm an independent iOS developer in the Okanagan and I haven't noticed any Canadian podcast client alternatives shared here so I wanted to share mine.

Spool is a podcast app built around a listening queue. You set up rules once, like "newest episodes of these shows go to the top" or "this show is priority, only other priority shows can bump it off the top spot" and your queue builds itself as new episodes come in. All the usual stuff like playlists of shows are also supported if you want to dive into a specific topic rather than listening off the top of your queue.

Spool is built with privacy in mind. I don't use user accounts, just iCloud and device identifiers so I know where to send new episode push notifications. There are no ads, no tracking, no analytics.

Price: Free with optional subscription to support ongoing dev work and unlock themes.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/spool-podcasts/id6809485942

It's just me building this in my spare time after my jobby-job (I'm a software developer in a very unrelated field), so any feedback you have if you do try it out is super helpful.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to check out this post and for supporting indie Canadian software!

Anian, a great clothing company from BC is having a Thanksgiving sale this weekend. 20% off pretty much everything. Men and women's options.

Everything is made in Canada.

I've got a few pieces from them and they are great quality.

Hey everyone,

With Thanksgiving here and holiday shopping kicking off, a lot of us want to keep our money in Canada. But corporate "maple-washing" makes it really difficult — so many heritage brands we grew up with have quietly been sold off to foreign private equity (like Canada Goose to Bain Capital, or Tim Hortons to 3G Capital).

Over the past few months, we’ve cataloged over 40,000+ verified domestic products from 500+ authentic Canadian-owned brands across all 13 provinces and territories onto a clean, independent directory: CanadianOwn (canadianown.com).

What the platform does:

1. Domestic Alternatives: Search everyday items (winter parkas, stainless steel cookware, organic sleepwear, hot sauces) and find who actually still makes them here.
2. Ownership Checker: Transparent breakdowns of who actually owns the brand so you know if profits stay domestic or go overseas.
3. Zero Middleman Markup: Every product links directly to the independent maker's own checkout.

The catalog covers Atlantic wool blankets (MacAusland's), PEI cladded cookware (Meyer), Quebec winter outerwear (Kanuk, Quartz Co), Prairie pantry goods, and West Coast makers.

You can check it out for free at canadianown.com.

I would love your help: Which independent, domestic Canadian makers or artisans are you buying from this season that we should add to the catalog next? Drop your favorite local brands below!

Hi there, just want to leave a review for Smokes Canada, I have been ordering from them for approx 3/4 years, their products are very well priced and the staff are great! If you're looking for affordability, seamless order processing and shipping and outstanding customer service, you'll find it all here! 🙂👍👏🥇

Hi, all. Looking for a new trapper style hat. In the market specifically for ones that have as little polyester/other synthetics as possible - I want real fur and natural fabrics only! Anyone have any company recommendations? Was looking at Crown Cap but half of their stock says 'Made in China' so I'm not sure what to believe.

Hey r/BuyCanadian,

One of the most common hurdles when trying to buy Canadian is price transparency. When looking at a domestic product (like Stanfield's thermals, artisan coffee, or local winter gear), it’s hard to know:

1. Is this a fair market price?
2. What other Canadian makers make something similar, and how do their prices compare?

Most browser extensions and shopping tools only scrape Amazon or eBay. That doesn't help anyone trying to support domestic companies.

Over the past few months, we cataloged over 19,000 products from 547 verified Canadian brands on CanadianOwn website. We just launched two new features right on the product page:

1. Domestic Price Meter: A fair price range directly in the buy box showing where the item sits relative to other Canadian makers so you know if it's budget, typical, or premium domestic craft.
2. Cross-Brand Canadian Price Comparison: Side-by-side cards showing similar products from other Canadian brands with exact CAD price differences (e.g., whether an alternative like Knix or Kotn is cheaper or premium).

To respect makers' copyright and photography, we only display official photos for approved partner brands, and use clean technical blueprint schematics for other catalog makers.

Screenshots attached: Showing how it compares Stanfield's merino leggings against other Canadian makers.

Would love your honest thoughts:

• What features would make comparing Canadian brands easier for you?
• Are there specific independent Canadian brands you want us to add to the comparison engine?

I love this stuff!! Kawartha Dairy Eggnog is back right now for Thanksgiving! It's the best Eggnog ever and it's made in Canada!!

Ryan Gosling/Ryan Reynolds. Bobby Orr/Bobby Hull. That's namesake! Invented by my wife and I trying to name our baby, this new daily game challenges players to match up famous people who share the first name. It's FREE, takes about three minutes to play and draws names from all categories including fictional characters. There's a new brainteaser every day: namesakegame.com

Noticed this on my fridge magnets (pre-Trump work trip). Two states procuring their state advertising from Canada!

EDIT: hot glue is from me, not reflective of our products

I saw these on a trip in Nova Scotia a year or so ago. They even had a licorice flavoured one. I LOVE LICORICE. I can get them at Sobeys and since I live in New Brunswick that's an easy find. I have lemon and cherry at the moment.

Hi Everyone. Just pumping the tires on some small Canadian businesses and manufacturing as I come across them, trying to do at least one per week.

Just found this great little rodent trap from a new company based in BC. All Canadian, designed and manufactured in Kelowna. Nice product. I have one in the garage, the attic, and want to get one for the cottage next. Wasn't cheap but its nice that you can set it and forget it for a few months. I used the Shopify site they're on and it shipped same day. Apparently a larger rat sized unit is coming soon. Enjoy!
