Canadian Tires has very robust sourcing on the ground in China, like Walmart, Celestica etc. I have met their folks in the usual places you'd expect to find them. That said, they're like any other importer- not really in control of the factories long-term.

They will come and go as prices fluctuate (and in China as the coastal regions get too expensive many lower tech factories are moving inland to places like Chengdu where wages are lower- and we're seeing the same old problems again).

The factories will mark whatever name you like on the product and paint it/mold it whatever color you like and customize the packaging if you meet their minimum order quantity. Sometimes the designs are identical but sourced from different companies, which is why I suspect places like HF have different SKUs for seemingly the same product.

OP uses clickbait title. Why start with apparent deception?

BTW CT has a special on Noma LED bulbs. Two 60W for $1.00. Many others too.
When Canadian Tire puts on a sale, it is generally unbeatable.
I seldom shop there except for sugar or toilet paper. Several years
ago I approached one of the auto parts staffers and asked for a
generic horn relay - he couldn't help me without a "year make model'
and probably colour too!
Same thing at any dealership, pep-boys, auto-zone or NAPA store. Half
the countermen have never SEEN a horn relay, nor do they have any idea
how rhey work (oe what they do) All they can do is read catalogs -and
then only if they are in PDF form and indexed so they can use a search
engine.
