Things They Should Invent: Canadian (or non-US) equivalent of Consumer Reports

I value buying and using quality products, so when I'm shopping for a new product category, I regularly search sources that provide objective, scientific, comparative product reviews like Consumer Reports does, or like Beautypedia used to.

 

As the need to economically disentangle ourselves from the United States becomes more and more apparent, I've been looking at the origin of various household goods, and I've noticed a pattern: most of the products I use regularly that were made in the US are products that I started using because they were well-reviewed in Consumer Reports or Beautypedia.

 

And I realized: this is because Consumer Reports and Beautypedia are American - they review products commercially available in the US, which likely strongly correlates with products made in the US! If a product is made elsewhere and is not sold in the US, they aren't even going to know about it to review it, so high-quality Canadian products are significantly less likely to have received a good review, because they're significantly less likely to have been reviewed at all.

 

With more and more Canadians trying to buy Canadian and more and more people around the world trying to avoid US products, now is the perfect time to fix this.

 

We need something along the lines of Consumer Reports or Beautypedia that rigorously and objectively reviews Canadian-made products or non-US products to determine which is the best quality. What is the most absorbent Canadian paper towel? What is the most effective Canadian dish detergent?

This would take the guesswork out of switching to buying Canadian and help promote Canadian products in general by highlighting Canadian excellence.
