Is there a shopping hub alternative that isn't American or Chinese?
-
Shopper+, it's not as extensive and no third party resellers, but they're pretty good.
-
For anyone wondering, they have a lot of stuff, mostly generic self-branded stuff. Better than you'd get on Temu, but don't expect very high quality stuff for the low prices that they have.
They have three websites in the same network, shopperplus.ca, 123ink.ca, and primecables.ca

Oh nice, tysm
-
Yooo!!! Thank you for that!
-
-
for books, there is leslibraires.ca!
they work with local, independent bookstores instead of having their own stock, which is a much better idea than amazon imo
-
Well.ca for health and beauty

Shopping "hub"? No. But online Canadian shops still exist, they are separated into niches though.
You can either choose the monopoly controlling the entire market and abusing their staff, or smaller companies that you have to spend an extra minute searching up.
On China, most of your stuff is coming from China anyways. This is a neutral fact, not good or bad. Just a truth of globalization. China can manufacture things cheaply, so almost everything is manufactured there in 2025.

Please people, cancel all these stupid subscriptions and delete your amazon account. I lived all my life without it, I promise you you dont need this.
I did. I cancelled Disney+, Netflix, Prime.
Definitely a perfect world. I kept my Amazon account and keep an eye out whenever there's a huge discount on a product such as their warehouse deals. I was too slow to finalize my order of an APC UPS that was over 50% off.
Yeah I don't shop Amazon anymore but my parents use my prime account for tv so when I asked them if I could cancel it, my mom just said she would start paying it and I'm not trying to pass off my payments to my parents so unless I can somehow teach my 60+ year old tech-illiterate parents the ways of the sea, I'm stuck handing my money to the fuckers (the company are the fuckers, not my parents)
