A Sewing Guide to Shopping Local / Canadian Businesses

This country has changed their shopping habits at the grocery store and other retailers since the convicted felon down south and his republican cohort have been talking trash about Canada and annexation.  So I thought I would compile a list of Canadian fabric shops to support during these surreal times we're living right now.  

Many of these fabric stores sell notions and offer online shopping.  This list is no where comprehensive or complete list, right now it's a work in progress.  I'll be adding more names and links to their company websites as I find them.  Please feel free to comment if you have a favourite Canadian business you would like added to the list.  Once the list is complete, I'll post it as it's own page.  Until then I will leave it here.
