This section is devoted to exploring Canadian alternatives to American businesses. Whether they are Canadian restaurants, Canadian food processors, Canadian auto parts suppliers, Canadian manufacturers or Canadian retailers, these businesses need our support.
We look at the strengths of the Canadian alternatives (as well as some of the weaknesses, of which price or accessibility often are factors). We provide contact information and partial listings of the products supplied.
At the bottom of each category, we list non-American, global suppliers.
The following links provide a partial list of Canadian businesses. The list is partial, for two reasons. One is that there are millions of Canadian businesses in existence. The other is that businesses start up while others fail with regularity and teh official databases often lag behind these occurrences. So, if you can’t find a business on one of teh lists, try another!
