Electronics and accessories? - Lemmy.ca

What are some good Canadian-owned retailers to buy electronics, electronic components, and computer accessories from? I’m talking about things like USB hubs and peripherals, monitors, cabling, and electronic components like you used to be able to get at the Radio Shack of yore. For audio stuff, I go to Long & McQuade, but non-audio? shrug Ideally, this would be a brick-and-mortar place in the GTA (but outside Toronto proper) but online would be great, too.

Canada Computers for a lot of that stuff. Several brick and mortars in GTA.

For electronic components, PiShop.ca online but based out of Ottawa and solen.ca for some components (caps, coils etc.) But they are DIY speaker oriented.

I hate to dissuade anybody from Canada Computers but their servers were compromised recently and customers had fraudulent charges. It happened to my friend even after they said they fixed it. I’d wait a month or so before going back to make sure it’s fixed. Fortunately there is still Memory Express, Prime Cables, etc.
