I was able to find this one locally, thanks! Though I was hoping to find a roll of floss since those pre-strung ones are kinda wasteful.

Suggestion: A weekly challenge thread for people to try at least one new Canadian product and post about it.
I’ve been doing this in my personal life. I find it shifts my thinking away from ‘ugh, I can’t find X’ and more towards 'Hey, what options are there that I have never considered because I’ve been sleepwalking through shopping and buying brands I recognize?"
Yeah, me too! Watched it all the time in the 90s and early 2000s. I just haven’t thought about it in a long, long time.
Am I the only one who was surprised to realize This Hour has 22 Minutes still exists?
For food, buying locally often means buying with the seasons, which isn’t a bad thing either. I’ve started trying to do this more and enjoy how much more flavour there is in the produce I buy. I have been used to always being able to buy anything I want in any season, but adapting to what is available is kinda fun.
Good suggestion. I’ll check that one next time I’m in there. I didn’t see anything Canadian-made at London Drugs, though.
When I was paying at a local shop recently, I mentioned to the owner I’m trying to pay cash now rather than card because Visa is a US company and he he thanked me, since using a credit card costs them money.
