I didn't want to create something redundant if it did exist, but I don't see anything. I'll put some thought into what form it could take and what sorts of things would be reasonable to include.

Is there a community on Lemmy for discussing Cancon? (Canadian-made content like books, games, etc.)
I haaate how many brands have switched to those stupid little detergent pods. My local grocery store only has like one brand that still has powder and it's American.
Will definitely take a look into the 'Unscented Company.' Edit: Ah, looks like they only have those 'tabs.' I like the power because you can measure it out.
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.
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?"
I thought about posting on BuyCanadian but I was worried they would find it off-topic as that place is more focused on products. (e.g. Not so a place for talking about a Canadian book you read recently.)
That's a good point about splitting it up between the different locations. EhVideos seems like it has the shows/movies/old commercials covered. MapleMusic would work if I wanted to talk about Unleash the Archers or something like that.
I'm not necessarily opposed to creating one, though.
