Canadian breakfast cereals?

You'd think with all the cereals we're producing, it'd be ubiquitous, but all the stuff at the grocery store was either Kelloggs, Kraft, or General Mills.
I think Shreddies are made in Canada, but owned by Post?

There seemsto be a few more options out west than here in QC.
I already get granola from a small local place which is great, but surely there's a Canadian version of corn flakes or rice krispies or whatnot somewhere.

I'm also open to just making my own.

innofoods is based out of BC and has an amazing Almond Fruit Crunch granola which is also Gluten Free.

For Ontario readers, Farm Boy's store brand cereals are made in Canada.
- Was going to reply the same.

I'm surprised we don't have a major Canadian player given how much of the raw ingredients we produce: https://cerealscanada.ca/production/

I'm buying Jordan's now, made in the UK but owned by Galen Weston and his fam...so profit at least flows back😒 . Buying Canadian made by a Canadian company shouldn't be this hard but hey, integrated economies with your best ally does that...then leaves us here. Hope someone steps in.
- ... And who owns ABF... ackshually... I mean...its RIGHT in the wiki page you linked.

  Oh, who are they? Owners Garfield Weston Foundation (79.2%) Weston family (20.8%)

If hot cereal is your thing, apparently Red River Cereal is Canadian again, was bought by Smucker's a while back. I liked it but I like cream of wheat and flax.
They have a bunch of others too, just red river's the classic

Nature's Path are Canadian. Though the website says "Canadian owned and operated in the US" whatever that means. Seems like they have 1/3 plants in Canada.
- I contacted Nature's Path and they told me their cereal is made in the US.

There is a Kellogg plant in Belleville. Big plant. It employs a lot of people here. Ya sure the profits go south and to the stock market too but there are hundreds of jobs here because of it.

Good question! Saving this for later when there are answers.

I could really go for some canadian miniwheats

One Degree makes somes. Ive used their oats before. They source from farmers all over the world but are a Canadian owned company.

Prana is Canadian, and made in Canada. For incredients hard to say.

I think I've seen loose cornflakes and stuff at Bulk Barn? But I'm not sure where they would be sourcing it from.
- I'm also disappointed in Bulk Barn for not having country of origin labels on their shelves. The shelf labels already have the full ingredient list, do it shouldn't be that much effort to add. And clearly someone at the company knows where it ultimately comes from.
  
  Me too! I am shocked because I could always find more Canadian companies like The Pop Shoppe and the Unscented Company. Why would a company carries these products before the Buy Canadian movement blew up suddenly disregard the cause?
  It makes no sense
