Any BIFL items made in Canada, which are less expensive (or have better quality) than ones found in USA?

I live in Canada (very close to US border). I go to US for a lot of shopping but often I get lost doing CAD - USD conversions and figuring out if quality is worth buying.

What are some of the BIFL things that are made in Canada and are actually less expensive (or have better quality) than ones found in USA?

I'm looking for daily use items like utensils, kitchen appliances, winter clothing shoes or gadget.
