Scotts shop towels (the blue rolls) are American, and that seems to be all that's sold around here, including at Canadian Tire.

Any alternatives? I already use reusable rags, buy I need something disposable and also stronger than paper towels.

At least for some uses I bought a big 5lb bag of white cotton rags (essentially chopped up t shirts) from Lee Valley.

They’re labelled a product of Canada.

Now that I'm looking around more, a box of rags might be a doable option. Not the Leevalley ones, but others I've seen appear to be much cheaper than the boxes of rags I've purchased in the past.

If you can find cheaper go for it

These are literally cut up tshirts

I try to use old shirts as rags (ones that are too damaged to donate), but sometimes buying a 20lb box of already cut up old shirts is the way to go. LOL
