"Canada became a commodity and ingredient country. We handed the commercialization value away to other nations in exchange for what felt like easier returns."
— Arlene Dickinson

That framing is worth sitting with. It wasn't just an economic miscalculation — it was a sovereignty one.

The answer she's pointing at isn't only policy. It's domestic production capacity. Year-round. Local. Decoupled from the supply chains now under strain.

Besides there being little to no laptop chargers being made in Canada, are there any recommended distributors selling them?

Canadian Brands for good quality (Poker) Decks of Playing Cards?

Canadian Brands for good quality (Poker) Decks of Playing Cards? - Lemmy.ca

Looking for good quality playing cards that could be an alternative to US Playing Card Co. (makers of Bicycle and a large variety of other decks). But it looks like it and its Belgian parent company (Cartamundi) owns nearly the whole market for playing cards. Is there no local printer for good quality playing card decks? A relative of mine plays Bridge a lot and goes through standard playing card decks more often than most. So I thought getting a bunch of decks from a quality Canadian or non-US supplier might be a nice gift if one exists. They should be standard 54 card decks, no fancy designs needed, it just needs to be a few steps up in quality from the flimsy dollar store decks and souvenir card decks…

Warning: Eyebuydirect.ca isnt Canadian!! They're from Texas.
