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.
Sayal is good for electronic components. Canada Computers is good for electronics. CCs selection is surprisingly good and they have other stuff that you would not really expect (3D printing filament, sometimes legos and other toy kits). Both of these have shops in the GTA.
ShopperPlus is good as well. They are based out of Quebec. If you are looking for cables, toner, and some of the other assorted household and office stuff you would otherwise get from Amazon they are worth checking out.
For other random retailers, I usually check out Shop.app which I think is Shopify’s platform. The stores aren’t all Canadian but depending on what you are looking for, you might find a local source with brick and mortar in the GTA.
