Good for Student get togethers of 1 or more. It appears that many students don't quite understand the dangers of Covid-19 and want to party like before.

Saw this also at BTrust in Mississauga. It's located in the front right before the cashier.
Not sure about quality but $9.99 for 50 pieces.

Yep. People should be buying reusable face mask. It's just as effective and you're not killing the environment with these disposable face maskstarchoice wrote: ↑ Is it the same people buying masks who buy bottled water?

If resuable ones were as effective, hospitals would have switched a long time ago. No matter how closely you knit fabric, you won't achieve the filtration performance of a heat bonded sheet of plastic nor get the electrostatic properties.supremePug wrote: ↑ Yep.

I still recall just four to five months ago, everyone is whining masks should be made within Canada. And some companies actually started to make those things, I am just wondering what happened to those companies. How do they compete with these?

This is true. However with these disposable masks I've been getting a rash on my face and also they can be pretty smelly from god knows what material they make them out of. My 100% cotton mask is much more comfortable now. I'm sure it's not as effective as the disposable but I just can't go back to that.wirespeed wrote: ↑ reusable has variable efficiency.

Due to economies of scale, and other factors, from existing foreign manufacturers, and with the current prices of masks, I doubt it would be economically feasible for a made in Canada solution for these disposable masks.

I got a $20 box mask from costco, and I think the costco one is better or at least similar quality to my $60 box bought in March.sylvestor2002 wrote: ↑ I think price will vary based on the quality of the mask. So perhaps you have some good masks compared to the $7.99 box.

Agreed! Justin gave a few manufacturers (in Ont and Que if i'm correct) a large donation to produce these items. Where are the products?
Compete? Good question, even at min wage these masks are going to be way more expensive.
