Also, if you're a Canadian business, make sure that information is right up front on your website -- don't make people have to work to figure it out.
P.S. I've extended the references to include some salsa and BBQ sauce makers, as long as heat is involved.

Hey CC. If you were to pick your top 3, what would they be?
"Top 3" is impossibly context-dependent ... depends on what you're pouring it on, but I admit to a fondness to seriously hot with a noticeable fruit base, like mango or blueberry. Pure heat is pointless, you need the flavour.
Hey CC - great list here. The only one I'd add is another Ottawa place called https://thepeppermustache.ca/ - they make a really hot sauce called Trashcan Fire that has a really unique flavour. Other than that, nicely done - let's support local!
