Specifically looking for filing cabinets. Online or within the GTA?

Structube is an independent Canadian family business. Their product is mostly made in China, but you're not going to be able to avoid that. No one but the Mennonites make furniture in Canada. They have a decent selection of office furniture. I have some of their filling cabinets, they're quite nice.

As a side note, almost any furniture that claims to be made in Canada isn't. If you call something a "Product of Canada" that means it's entirely from Canada. But if you say it's "Made in Canada" that just means it's finished here. What companies like the Brick do is essentially bring over an Ikea furniture kit, have a guy assemble it (this process is called "finishing") and now it's "Made in Canada."

Palliser and EQ3 are made in Canada. If looking for higher end, Bensen is a Canadian company, they used to produce their items in Canada, but has moved production to Italy. At least it’s not US or China. There is also Perez and Speke Klein.
