Yes, I forgot to mention, sorry: they were made by "Eddy Match". To
complicate things further, some Ontario province addresss was shown there
too (perhaps  reselling or re-packaging company).  The store is called
"Canadian Tire" - ubiquitous chain-store that can be found every few blocks
in Canada. Mostly (you are right), low-end Chinese products there, normally
disguised under "imported by" (followed by some Canadian address), instead
of "made in" or "the product of".
