Oh it's through 2 dogs. My shiba inu was 17 and my finnish lapphund is 4.

This Holistic Select brand was recommended to me by this Shiba breeder in Ohio on Facebook and both dogs have been great on it.

Oh and I had to delete her as she was this crazy republican lady. lol

If it's the electrolytes and a post-exercise drink, I like Adapt Nutrition. They're not as sweet as the others, and they are Canadian.

I thought Biosteel went bankrupt.

I try to delay my scotch drinking until after the gym.

Speaking of dog food. We switched out our U.S. made dog treats and are giving our small dog a daily treat from Caledon Farms. Made in Canada and the mutt seems to like them better.

Beyond Yourself and TC are both Canadian companies.

I use them both for BCAA and Pre Workout before I got injured they are both great.

And if you are looking to stock up on April 4th and 5th Supplement King is having their spring employee pricing and you can get a great deal on both products. They usually run it an extra day as well.

Apples that are treated and stored properly are generally still fresh for about a year after being picked.

Controlled Atmosphere Storage

Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage is a postharvest management practice based on manipulating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) and oxygen (O₂) concentration in the fruit storage environment, in combination with temperature and humidity in order to maintain the quality and increase the shelf life of stored apple fruits. O₂ and CO₂ are important for storage of almost all fruits and vegetables because they are the two primary gases in fruit respiration.

Looking online for Canadian made clothing and ball caps. Not too many choices. I'd like to get the family some items with the flag on them. Many online options are made overseas.

You will have a hard time with that.

Lululemon still has a bunch of Olympic stuff hanging around.

Global news reports on a survey done about tariffs-affected shopping:
10-12% ardently seek Canadian made goods
10-12% seek only American made goods
The remaining shoppers seek the best price regardless of origin.

I thought we were better.

Those sound like survey trolls.

The 70-80% percent I. The middle who are ignoring the current situation are the ones disappointing me.
