I read about this app here and checked it out. I'm a French noob, and I'm so happy they start their lessons with small conversations instead of theory! This is what my schooling has missed my whole life.

Good, and I'm following suit. Just cancelled a trip I had planned to Boston this September. I'm not spending a dollar more than I have to on the shithole that has become the US.

 

Here's a list of my favourite Made In Canada vendors that sell women's clothes. Please add your own!

I also shop at Victoire Boutique in Ottawa quite a bit, and they've curated a wonderful list of Canadian designers.

I started paying attention to where my clothes were designed and crafted a couple of years ago, and this website has been an incredible resource for me! Highly recommend folks check it out

I made the same move, during the same time, for the same reasons. I am incredibly lucky to be able to buy higher priced items made in country, and I would rather that money stay in Canada supporting Canadian businesses.

I've recognized I don't need more stuff, and the stuff I do buy should be built to last as long as possible. Love the recommendations!
