    CBC does some great investigative reporting. I live in the US, but when they infiltrate scams and show how businesses are lying to us, this is exactly what my local alternative paper used to do when they had the money to do it. I am thankful CBC exists. You guys are S tier together with NPR.

    So frustrating that they price these items out of most people’s budgets. A basic t-shirt for $37?

      I get it … though we have been a bit spoiled with mass produced, cheaply made clothing. $37 is up there and is about the same as top quality clothing from respectful companies like Patagonia…

      It would be neat if the manufactures used by CBC were B Corps.

          I feel their price is justified especially if it’s made in Canada.

            Yes, if Made in Canada, then I would agree that it’s fair. But if not… that’s a hard sell, even if it’s going to a good cause.

            EDIT: And it looks like they’ve added “Made in Canada” to their listing! Nice!
