-28%Ninja BlendBoss Personal Blender — 1200 Peak Watts, Crushes Ice to Snow! $149.18 CAD (28% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the Ninja BlendBoss Personal Blender (DB351ST, Stone Mint) for $149.18 CAD (list price $206.85, 28% off). Free shipping for Prime members; otherwise free over $The usual failure of a single-serve blender is power: ice stays chunky, frozen banana turns into paste. The BlendBoss is the most powerful ice-crushing tumbler in Ninja's lineup — 1,200 peak watts driving a stainless CrushBlade, which the company rates for crushing ice to snow. The reviews back that up; several praise how it handles ice and frozen fruit, and one reviewer's only complaint was the noise. Three Auto-iQ presets cover Smoothie, Ice Crush and Blend. One press and the machine runs its own pattern of pulsing, blending and pausing, so you are not standing there tapping a button. The 26oz tumbler has a contoured handle and is shaped to fit standard cupholders, so you blend and walk out. The lid is where the detail shows: the Flip Cap locks leak-proof, you can drink straight from the chug spout, or fit the detachable straw into the same locked lid. Toss it in a bag or a car seat without a plastic bag around it. Tumbler, blade assembly and lid are all dishwasher safe and BPA free. Two things to know before buying, both raised repeatedly in reviews. First, it is loud. One reviewer compared it to their old Nutribullet and worried about noise complaints. High-wattage single-serve machines generally are; if you blend at 6am in an apartment with kids asleep, plan for it. Second, the design favours right-handed users. The cup only locks onto the base at one angle turned clockwise, which is awkward left-handed, and the lid opens the same way. That is a genuine design limitation, not a one-off. Capacity is one drink at a time — two people means two rounds. If you want a big pitcher for the family, this is the wrong machine. But for a daily morning smoothie or a post-gym protein shake, $149 is well below its usual price, and the 300W machines it beats are not much cheaper. 📦 Product Images 🔗 Shop on Amazon → ⚠️ Ships from an overseas seller; the price includes an Estimated Import Fees Deposit, so the final price may vary slightly by province/address.
-46%Dimaka 29" Cat Scratching Post — Full-Stretch Sisal Pole for Adult Cats! $32.99 CAD (45% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the Dimaka 29" (74cm) sisal cat scratching post for $32.99 CAD (list price $59.99, 45% off). Free shipping for Prime members; otherwise free over $29 inches is the height that lets an adult cat stretch out completely. Cats hook their front claws in and extend their whole spine when they scratch — too short a post and they go back to the sofa arm. The 2.8" cardboard core is wrapped in natural sisal, the coarse texture cats actually want, and it holds up far better than carpet-covered posts. The 13.8 × 13.8" base is chipboard under plush, weighted low. A plush ball dangles from the top, which gets cats batting within minutes — several reviews mention theirs went straight to it on day one. The grey fits most interiors, and the same design comes in beige, light brown, dark brown, blue, pink and green. Assembly is three steps and about four minutes with the included tools, and it splits in the middle for storage. One caveat: the base is weighted but the post is tall, so a cat launching at full force will rock it. One reviewer keeps theirs braced against the sofa or a wall. If you have two cats competing for it, the 34" version with a 15.7" base is the safer pick. Over 10,000 reviews at 4.4 stars and third in its category. $32.99 is a rare discount for this type of product, which normally sits near list price. 📦 Product Images 🔗 Shop on Amazon →
-38%Tzowla 15.6" Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack — 37,000+ Reviews, Built to Last! $43.99 CAD (37% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the Tzowla 15.6" Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack for $43.99 CAD (list price $69.99, 37% off). Free shipping for Prime members; otherwise free over $37,000 reviews at 4.5 stars is unusually solid for this category. One reviewer bought theirs in 2018, carried it through a full university degree and now to work every day, and reports no visible wear. Another was ready to spend $200 on a commuting pack and ended up with this one for under $That kind of feedback says more than a spec sheet. The shell is 300D nylon — water resistant, not waterproof. At 20 × 11.8 × 5.5 inches and 34 litres, the separate laptop compartment takes up to a 15.6" machine, and the main compartment swallows a day's gear or a change of clothes. The front section is split into plenty of pockets with a key hook and pen slots, so you are not emptying the whole bag to find something. Security comes from a fixed combination lock on the top plus metal zippers: lock the main compartment and it stays shut on a crowded subway or a luggage rack. One side has a magnetic quick-access pocket, the other an elastic sleeve that fits a 20oz bottle or a folding umbrella. Wide padded straps, ventilated back panel, and a luggage strap across the back that slides over a carry-on handle. The external USB and headphone ports are the clever part — power bank and phone both live inside, and a short cable outside lets you charge while walking. The port has no battery of its own, so bring your own power bank; some buyers prefer it that way. Two recurring complaints: loaded up, it will not stand on its own and tips toward the zipper side, and the water resistance is splash-level only. Go in knowing that and the build quality at this price is excellent value. 📦 Product Images 🔗 Shop on Amazon →
-41%MOKPR Wireless Car Charger Mount — Auto-Clamping 15W Charging! $29.98 CAD (40% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the MOKPR 15W Wireless Car Charger Mount for $29.98 CAD (list price $49.99, 40% off). Free shipping for Prime members; otherwise free over $Mounting a phone in the car usually means clamping it, plugging in a cable, and hunting for that cable every time. This one folds both jobs into a single vent mount: once it has power, the side arms and bottom foot open automatically, and they close around your phone as soon as you set it down. A built-in sensor then fine-tunes the position over the charging coil, so you are not nudging the phone around looking for the sweet spot. Charging speed depends on the phone: 15W for LG V50/V40/V30/G8, 10W for Galaxy S23/S22 and Note 10, 7.5W for iPhone. All of the fast modes require a QC 3.0 car charger, which is not included — with a plain 5V/2A adapter you will only get standard speed. That is the single most common complaint in the reviews, and several buyers only got proper charging after switching to a QC 3.0 or 4.0 adapter. The ball joint rotates 360 degrees, so you can angle the screen without tilting your head down. Push the vent clip in fully before tightening; one reviewer had it drop off once from a loose fit. Cases up to 4mm thick charge through fine, but metal plates, card holders or credit cards behind the phone will trip the FOD sensor and stop charging — that is the protection working, not a fault. It ranks third in its category with 1,688 reviews at 4.3 stars, which is about as solid as this price bracket gets. 📦 Product Images 🔗 Shop on Amazon →
-64%ESR MagSafe Car Mount Charger — 15W Fast Charge, 1400g of Grip on Rough Roads! $14.99 CAD (64% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the ESR HaloLock MagSafe car mount charger for $14.99 CAD (list $41.19, 64% off). Prime members ship free; otherwise free shipping on orders over $At $14.99 this sits near the bottom of what MagSafe car chargers cost. It's certified for 15W and the magnet ring is rated at 1,400 g of holding force, which in practice keeps the phone put over speed bumps and cracked pavement — provided you're using a bare phone or an official MagSafe / ESR magnetic case. A thick generic case cuts the grip. Mounting is the suction-cup route: dashboard or windshield, with a ball joint for angle. Rotate to portrait for navigation, landscape for maps. The cup is reusable — rinse and dry it if it stops sticking. Two caveats worth knowing up front. There's no car charging adapter in the box, just a 1 m USB-C to USB-C cable, so plan on supplying one. And if your car only has an old USB-A port, the output won't be enough — you need a 65W adapter, and more than one owner only got it working after upgrading. Heat is the recurring complaint: with navigation running and the screen on, both the pad and the phone get noticeably warm. That's inherent to wireless charging and worse on summer road trips, so don't make this your only way to charge on a long drive. There's also a clippable coupon on the product page — tick it before checkout so you don't miss the extra discount. Compatible with iPhone 12 through 18 (including Air) and Galaxy S25/S26 and Pixel 10 with a magnetic case. 12-month coverage. 📦 商品图 🔗 Shop on Amazon →
-28%Mounting Dream Soundbar Bracket — Mounts Above or Below the TV, 180° Swivel! $26.98 CAD (27% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the Mounting Dream universal soundbar bracket (MD5420) for $26.98 CAD (list $36.99, 27% off). Prime members ship free; otherwise free shipping on orders over $The usual snag with a wall-mounted TV is that the soundbar has nowhere to go — the console is too low, the bar covers the bottom of the screen, or it ends up balanced on top of the TV at a tilt. This bracket hangs the bar off the TV's own VESA holes so it moves with the screen, and it works with fixed, tilting and full-motion mounts alike. It holds up to 15 lbs (6.8 kg), which covers most SONOS, Samsung, Sony, VIZIO, Bose and Yamaha bars. Teeth on the arm joints lock the bar in place, and a toolless knob means no extra holes in your wall. VESA patterns from 200x100 through 600x400 are supported. Two mounting paths: if your bar has threaded holes in the back, the long extension plates do the job; if it only mounts from underneath, use the included L-brackets. The hardware kit is generous — enough screws and spacers that most brand layouts can be matched. Nobody in the reviews complains about stability; what surprises people is the sheer number of bolts, which exist to fit different devices. The real annoyance is the angle: the arms lock at set positions, so getting the bar snug right under the TV is fiddly, and one owner took the TV back off the wall to redo it. Measure and set the angle on the floor first. On some bars the L-brackets also stick out a little — worth knowing if you care how it looks from the side. Ranked #1 in speaker mounts, 2,032 ratings at 4.4 stars, 10-year warranty. For $26.98 it answers "where does the soundbar go" without buying a new media console. 📦 商品图 🔗 Shop on Amazon →
-41%AMBOR 17.3" Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack — Combo Lock and USB Port, Fits Under the Seat! $39.99 CAD (40% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the AMBOR 17.3" anti-theft laptop backpack for $39.99 CAD (list $66.99, 40% off). Prime members ship free; otherwise free shipping on orders over $Outside it measures 19.5 x 12.5 x 5.3 inches with 20 litres of space, and it swallows a 17.3" laptop. That slim profile is the point: it slides under an airplane seat as a personal item, so you never fight for overhead bin space. One owner flew with it twice — a seven-hour and a three-hour flight — constantly opening and closing it from under the seat without a problem. The security side is a combination lock on metal zipper pulls. The factory code is 0-0-0, and the card in the box walks you through changing it (dial to 000, press the reset button with a tool until it clicks, set your combo, push the release). Write the new one down — there's no recovery. There's also a hidden zippered pocket flat against your back, which is a better place for a passport than the main compartment. A USB charging port and headphone jack sit on the side, wired into the bag. Bring your own power bank; none is included. Fair warning: the built-in cable is an older design, and one reviewer cut it out because none of his power banks matched. If your bank is USB-C, plan on replacing the internal lead. The harness is S-shaped memory foam with a chest buckle, so a full bag doesn't slide off your shoulders, and the ripstop nylon wipes clean after a splash. 11,386 ratings at 4.6 stars, ranked #5 in laptop backpacks, and 400sold in the past month. One buyer ruined his first one in a spill, shopped around, and came straight back to this model. 📦 商品图 🔗 Shop on Amazon →
-29%SHW 40" Mobile Electric Standing Desk, Maple — One-Piece Top, Drawer and Locking Casters! $199.87 CAD (29% Off)
Amazon.ca currently has the SHW 40" mobile electric standing desk in maple for $199.87 CAD (list $279.99, 29% off). Prime members ship free; otherwise free shipping on orders over $The top measures 101.6 cm wide by 61 cm deep, and at 40 inches it arrives as a single panel. That detail matters more than it sounds — smaller versions in the same line ship as two pieces with a seam through the middle, right where your keyboard goes, and plenty of buyers email support to confirm before ordering. The motor travels from 28" to 45", and the controller has an LED readout plus three memory presets, so you drop back to your sitting or standing height with one press instead of holding the button. All four casters lock, which means it rolls to the window and then stays put; flat glides are in the box if you'd rather skip wheels entirely. It's rated for 110 lbs, so a 27" monitor, a Mac mini and a mess of cables is nowhere near the limit. Underneath there's a cable tray, two side hooks for headphones and a bag, and a shallow drawer that handles pens, sticky notes and charging cables. Longer-term owners tend to say the same two things: assembly is quick with clear instructions and screw holes that line up (a few spare screws left over), and the motor is quieter than expected — two or three metres away you won't hear it. The gripes are honest too. The maple finish is engineered wood veneer and shows fingerprints and wipe marks badly, and at full height a heavy monitor introduces a bit of sway, so standing sessions want a stable spot. Three-year warranty. At $199.87 for electric lift, a drawer and wheels included, it's on the low end of what these desks cost. 📦 商品图 🔗 Shop on Amazon →
Maple ExpressMaple Express | November 1, 2026: Carney Says He Had a 'Good Conversation' With Trump as Trade Deal Nears
Carney says he had a 'good conversation' with Trump, who says the two sides are 'very close' to a trade deal. Quebec police are investigating needles and metal pins found in Halloween chocolate, the Liberals out-raised the Conservatives by almost $1 million in Q3, and GTA police reported several crashes and a stabbing. Also: a trucking-safety review, Lockheed Martin's $3.45-billion purchase of Ultra Maritime, and a warning over permanent daylight time.
-31%Razer Huntsman Mini Optical Gaming Keyboard — 60% Layout with Optical Switches, Purple! $94.99 CAD (31% Off)
Best Buy currently has the Razer Huntsman Mini wired optical gaming keyboard in purple for $94.99 CAD (regular $136.99 — 31% off). Orders over $35 ship free. The Huntsman Mini uses a 60% layout, dropping the number pad, arrow cluster and function row. That leaves a body just 10.3 cm wide, which frees up real horizontal desk space when your mouse pad and monitor are already fighting for room, and makes the board easy to carry. The switches are Razer Optical, actuated by a beam of light. With fewer moving parts than a traditional mechanical switch there's less friction, which Razer says extends the keyboard's lifespan, and the press feels crisp and fast for both typing and gaming. Keycaps are doubleshot PBT with a textured surface and side-printed secondary functions that don't wear away. The aluminium case has a matte finish built to survive long hours of daily use. Onboard memory stores up to five profiles, so your settings come back on a new machine without installing software. Razer Chroma RGB lighting effects are preloaded and customizable. It connects over a 2 m wired USB cable with a detachable Type-C end and a cable latch to keep the connection secure mid-game. Total weight is 0.5 kg. 📦 商品图 🔗 Shop at Best Buy →
