KBC Tools have a branch in Toronto
https://www.kbctools.ca/company/our-locationsTools aren't the obvious thing to buy when in Canada. Carriage into the country takes ages and costs a bomb, while the customs and carriers help themselves freely to passing goods. That is reflected in prices there, even if you buy from an importer rather import yourself.
I used KBC myself a few times when I lived in Vancouver but TBH, most/much of their stuff was Chinese / Indian / mid-range US stuff and not particularly well priced at that. If you must buy stuff over there, Busybee may be another option - they seem to be a Canadian sister to Grizzly in the US.

To my mind, they are both in a similar boat to RDG Tools, Chronos and Machine Mart over here. My preference in the UK is the likes of Cutwel, APT Tools etc, ie better quality, often at similar prices, particularly if you can hold off until there is an offer on what you want. I tried to order from Cutwel when I was over there but their franchises wouldn't allow them to supply to customers outside of their UK / Ireland sales area.
