[Lab] Hardware shipping to Canada

[Andrew O'Malley]

Hi all, thanks for all the suggestions.

I agree all this info would be valuable in a wiki of some sort.

Since I'm in the west end, I tried Ottawa Fastener Supply, per the
multiple vouches for it, and they didn't quite have what I needed,
though they did seem to have a lot of selection for more common sizes.

I went to Fastenal just down the street, and they claim they'll have
200 pieces of what I need for Monday, at a great price as well, so
I'll see how that pans out.

Thanks again,
ao.
