Online Retailers: Websites like Amazon or specialty online stores often have sections for products from Canada and Australia. Look for brands that highlight their origin.
Canadian Brands: In addition to Crown Royal, consider trying Canadian beers like Molson or Labatt, Canadian maple syrup, and snacks like Smarties or All-Dressed chips.
Australian Products: Look for brands like Vegemite, Tim Tams, or Australian wines like Shiraz from Barossa Valley.
Social Media and Community Groups: Join online communities or social media groups that focus on Canadian or Australian products. They often have recommendations and sales alerts.
Support Canadian Enterprises: Explore e-commerce platforms that focus on Canadian-made products, such as The Bay or Canadian Tire.
Travel and Explore: If you ever travel to Canada or Australia, make sure to bring back local products that aren’t readily available at home.
Every little bit helps, and it’s fantastic to support our neighbors. Happy shopping!
