Canadian made

I love this app, It identifies where products are made, and if not Canadian it finds a product the same that is Canadian made.

Glad it is working for you! We are adding many Canadian products along with their website links, and hope you will find it useful. Please do comment if you discover errors or omissions, as we moderate the entries as needed.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to review, and thanks for using O SCAnada!

Excellent info

Very helpful and easy to use. Currently, I am not purchasing products made in America and this app gives a breakdown on where product is manufactured, owner, etc etc and suggests other products that are more Canadian.
Its catalogue is not yet complete but I have found most items there.
Thumbs up!
