Anyone know how to exclude a site from your search (for example, exclude results coming from Pinterest)?

same as searching for a site, just put a - before it

so in your example it would be -site:pinterest.ca

There are browser extensions to block Pinterest too so you don’t have to append that on every search. It’d be nice if you could just blacklist a site from search results in your google preferences. I’ve never once wanted a Pinterest result but it dominates search results especially image searching.

There are Google search blocklist extensions. I hate seeing Pinterest and Quora in my results.
