About Buy Canadian First
  • Launched in 2008, our mission is to promote
    Canadian companies, their services and the
    products they make right here at home. We are not
    an online store and no purchases can be made on
    the site. 
  • We simply direct consumers to points-of-purchase
    (either online or in brick-and-mortar stores)
    where they can find Canadian-made products and
    services.

Why Buy Canadian First?
  • It used to be that, as consumers, we didnt think
    twice about the long-term effects of our shopping
    habits on the communities we live in. We became
    addicted to low-cost products made abroad and got
    hooked on accumulating quantity over quality.
  • Then, something worrisome started to happen
    Canadian manufacturing jobs started disappearing
    at an alarming rate. Between 2003 and the Spring
    of 2008 for example, Canada lost 350,000
    manufacturing jobs. And sadly, things have not
    improved much since then.

Get Involved
  • Our mission is to showcase products that are made
    in Canada, and to tell consumers where they can
    buy them. Through our blog and various social
    media networks, we are building an online
    community of like-minded individuals who are
    together driving this grassroots movement across
    the country. Get involved!
  • Our tremendous efforts to fill our product
    catalogue with tens of thousands of products made
    in Canada. Yes, we still make a lot of things in
    this country, but they are hard to find!
  • Our dedication to raise awareness about the
    impact of our everyday buying decisions, and how
    much power we really have as Canadian consumers
    to make things better for our country and our
    communities!

Patriotism
  • Historically, Canadians have always been quietly
    patriotic. If theres one thing the world noticed
    during the Vancouver Olympics is that were a
    proud bunch and perhaps now (post
    record-breaking-Olympics) we wont be so quiet
    anymore.
  • Love of Country shouldnt stop at flying a flag
    or wearing red and white. We have every reason to
    be proud of our country, including the wonderful
    products we make here. Some consumers buy
    Canadian over foreign-made as a matter of
    principle alone. We see a Made in Canada label
    as a badge of honour one were proud to
    contribute to and want others to know about.
    Buying products made in Canada makes us proud!
