Factors

The vendor's own team page names Keith and Arlene Robinson as owners, corroborated by madeinca.ca. No federal corporation named Souris River turned up in the Corporations Canada search, so the entity is likely registered provincially in Ontario; that provincial registry could not be checked directly.

The vendor names duPont™ KEVLAR® fibre and epoxy resin as its main hull materials; DuPont is a US-headquartered materials company (Wilmington, Delaware) per Wikipedia. The specific mill or country of origin for this fabric lot, and the source of the epoxy resin, foam, and fittings, could not be verified, so the split is an estimate weighted toward the US brand-name input.
