iCAN brand is Canada Computers’ store brand, though most of it is Chinese white label products shipped there. Memory express is another Canadian pc parts retailer chain (stores mostly in Western Canada).

In the GTA, I always recommend Sayal Electronics, they’ve got a variety of home electronic parts and chips and cables and a few other doodads, typically for less than Amazon.

I come to accept that it will very likely be Chinese made. No point for me to stress for months not buying one.

This is useful information though. Thanks! I often don’t mind buying directly from companies if I can, for example directly from a Chinese company – I guess Aliexpress might have something to compare price and service.
