It's been a while since I looked myself (not using the ones I bought all that often so they look almost new), but I don't recall coming across any Canadian ones unfortunately.
At first I thought, Arcteryx has been doing some hiking shoes/boots, but they haven't been Canadian owned for over 2 decades and I found them a bit too gimmicky personally.
As for what to look for, you need to realize what you find comfortable. For example I need arch support and wider toebox. You're gonna be wearing them for extended periods of time and you don't want blisters/discomfort.
I ended up trying a bunch in various shops and ordering a pair of Danners (not Canadian) online from a place where I could do free return, in case they didn't fit. It was the closest to my need, but I still had to get additional insoles for arch support.
Once you think you got it figured out, do yourself a favour and wear them at home for a few days, and see if anything is rubbing etc. "Breaking shoes in" is bollocks, mine were leather and didn't require any breaking in.
Hope that helps at least a little bit
Sad to learn this :-/
Ikwym ....I only checked as I was writing my original response and was disappointed myself.
