Electrohome was one of Canada's largest manufacturers of TVs.  Based in Kitchener. 

Also furniture and many other items like radios, motors, etc.

Another former manufacturer of (then) "high tech" stuff was Marsland Engineering at Weber and Columbia.

Meanwhile in today's G&M: Waterloo startup to software leader, Open Text pins future on digitization 

With a market capitalization of about $6-billion, Open Text is one of Canada’s most valuable software firms. Yet it’s worth less than 1 per cent of the stock market value of Apple Inc. and less than 2 per cent of Google Inc. Rivals International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) and EMC Corp. are significantly larger...

RIMOWA, in Cambridge, manufactures high-end aluminium and polycarbonate luggage and accessories.  Its parent company is German but I believe that the Cambridge plant is the only luggage maker left in North America.  The best place to see their products is at their flagship store on Bloor St. W in Toronto.

Has Kodiak/Terra Nova been mentioned? http://www.kodiakboots.com/

Does Kodiak have a shop at the factory?  Once upon a time, most of the clothing/footwear places in town had an outlet where you could buy seconds at a discount, but that seems to have pretty much disappeared.

Yes they do, but it's not a discount store, its a full priced retail.  It's a "Work Authority" store, and the prices are the same at all of them.  It (and the plant) are at 415 Thompson Drive, Cambridge.
