Default OT: Know any good Canadian chemical suppliers?

Well, do you? I'm looking for a Canadian supplier, American won't do due to restrictions on shipping chemicals across the border, and prohibitive shipping fees. Don't worry, I'm not planning on cooking drugs or things like that Just trying to get the chemicals so I can create a few SAFE mixtures, such as thermite.

Sigma-Aldrich likely have a warehouse based out of the Vancouver area.

"Just trying to get the chemicals so I can create a few SAFE mixtures",

"such as thermite."

One of these things is not like the other!

Well, after it's lit maybe However, it is quite stable before, during, and after creation. After all, its just a mixture of powdered Iron (III) Oxide and powdered aluminum. It's not heat, shock or flame sensitive, so yeah, I consider it fairly safe. Seeing as how it takes massive heat (such as burning magnesium) to set it off, and not even the heat of a blowtorch is enough to light it, it's pretty safe. But after it's lit...well you better hope it's not on something you value too much! Can't put it out with water or smothering...not to mention the fact it reaches extremely high temperatures...in the thousands of degrees Celcius. I'm not just some goof messing around, I have a bit of knowledge when it comes to chemistry!

Anyways, thanks for the name Kwok, it should help a lot.

I have purchased laboratory-grade chemicals for work from Anachemia and Fisher Scientific. I am in Vancouver. Fisher is in Ontario but Anachemia has a local office in Richmond.

You do realise you're in danger of a visit from people in business suits with dark glasses, right?

Thanks Kamog, I'll look into it and see if I can find their website.

Yep! But really, most chemicals are legal to possess and buy in Canada.

Well, I don't think I'm a threat to national security, unless putting a few holes in some of our fields makes me a threat! Arab persuasion? Nah, I'm as white (and European descended) as they come. Norwegian!

The last thing on my mind is destroying gov't buildings...I really don't get the point of terrorism.
