Is this company even Canadian?
Also... rechargeable batteries.
- I had to dig but this is them I think looks like Ontario based.
  
  ~~The only place you can buy their stuff in CAD is on Amazon and~~ I've deleted my amazon account for what they did in Quebec. ~~They may be in Canada but they're making it hard for me to support them.~~
  I was wrong, they are 100% Canadian and you can buy in CAD on their website.
- Yes, they are located in Barrie, Ontario. I wrote in the body of this post a link to their 1% for the Planet page.
Rechargeable batteries have been a thing for 30+ years. We have old battery collection points in most super markets.
What problem does this solve?
- Well, the shareholders want money. So it could solve that problem.
  
  uhm... there are no shares for that company.
Even if you personally disagree with the business, given the current tarriff war, we should still be buying Canadian or encouraging others to buy Canadian.
- This is the way.
- Yeah I think people are missing the point here. If its an option to buy batteries from a Canadian company, why not?
Reminder that batteries are not "dead" until they cannot be used for anything anymore. Just because the voltage isnt high enough for that motorized kid's toy doesnt mean it wont work in a remote or some other lower voltage application. So many batteries get tossed when they still throw a good 1.4 v.
