Hey everyone.

I thought I’d make a post for anyone to comment on with suggestions they’d like to see in this community. Seeing as it’s starting to get quite a bit more active, and now that we have several mods, we should probably make it more professional looking, with a proper sidebar and maybe some other features you might have seen in another community that you liked.

If anyone has seen ideas they’d like to see here, feel free to suggest them in the comments on this post and myself and the other mods can possibly implement them. I’ll leave this post pinned so it’s easy to access, in case you read this and have an idea later on.

Hi there! First, thanks for running this community, it's been great to see all the Canadian pride and brands!

A few thoughts: With a few volunteers, I wonder if we could make a big old wiki or site with various options. (If so, should we organize it with similar categories to one of the buy canada websites so that we can update from them and vice versa?)

To win any war, we need allies. I imagine a lot of us are subscribed to BuyEuropean, I wonder if it might be worthwhile to also create a third community, /BuyUnAmerican or somesuch and try to find replacements for as much as possible?

Happy to help however I can!
