We were just on CBC News. Here's the real story.

SUMMER 2026

We're having a moment, thanks to you

Two weeks ago, CBC called with 1.5 hours' notice asking if we could be on the National News that afternoon. I said yes, scrambled, and somehow made it work. Business Insider and AM800 Windsor covered us too. Three different outlets, three different audiences, one story: Canadians are looking for more ways to shop Canadian.

That story isn't really about us, though. It's about the now 400+ brands on this marketplace, the vendors shipping orders from their own warehouses in Victoria, Montreal, Halifax, and everywhere between, and the growing number of people who've decided that where their money goes actually matters. We just happened to be the place that made it easier.

If you're new here because of one of those articles, welcome! You joined at a good time, because we've just added six brands we're mega excited about.
