Canadian made dental floss? (self.buycanadian)

Searching this, I see a couple options, mainly in the 'Eco-friendly' direction. (e.g. Made of corn husks or silk, etc.)

Has anyone found/tried a Canadian made floss? Any good? I can't seem to find any at local stores, so it seems like a lot to spend to buy a single pack of floss and ship it here.

Option+ makes a flosser (pre-strung holder) which is quite competitive with Oral B and GUM in both price and quality -- Well.ca has 90 for 50 cents more than 90 Oral B, and it's cheaper when we get it at Uniprix (Quebec).

Oral B is not Canadian but it's made in Ireland, if you care about that. Still an American company so any profits on top of what the Irish workers got are going there.

I'm not sure of its sourcing but I just bought the Shoppers Drug Mart Life brand. Does anyone know where it's actually made?

Good suggestion. I'll check that one next time I'm in there. I didn't see anything Canadian-made at London Drugs, though.

There are a few Canadian retailers that make "store brand" products (e.g. life brand dental floss). Does that fit the bill?
