Four needs, four rules. Each pick is the cheapest station in stock at an official Canadian brand store on November 14 that meets the rule written under it. Commissions play no part.

Frequently asked questions

How are the picks chosen?

Each pick is the cheapest station in stock at an official Canadian brand store on November 14, 2026 that meets the rule printed with it. When one station wins two rules, it gets one card with both badges. Commissions are never part of the rules.

Why no Amazon or Canadian Tire prices?

Canadian Tire refused our automated reads (access denied), and Amazon listings change seller and price constantly. We read the brands' own Canadian stores, plus Best Buy Canada's public catalogue, where the stations we list were sold by marketplace sellers.

Do these brands ship within Canada?

Their Canadian stores price in Canadian dollars. ALLPOWERS' Canadian store, for example, announces "Free Shipping to Canada" and lists the provinces and territories it delivers to, with exclusions for remote areas. Check delivery to your postal code at checkout.
