I did. Repeat of above
Their web site is very good. Their Canada wide delivery is via Canada post and for a knife with custom engraving was less than 2 weeks to my door. Engraving was only $13 extra.

Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

My criteria and recommendation......
Sorry mods, you can delete of course.
wood and such: Timber Town, Windsor plywood.
everything else it seems. Canadian Tire. There are no canadian hardware stores, the ones you think are Canadian, are not.
paint: Cloverdale paint
I forgot about them! You're right! I am pleased to be wrong. Unfortunately there are none in Calgary. You have to go to a town outside the city limits. Maybe there is a question there - is there a general Canadian hardware store in Calgary?
