I don't know if these are the same item but MEC frequently has products for 25-50% less than Canadian Tire:

I used to love CTC; they're really disappointing these days. They engaged in the race for the bottom and have turned into a crappy second to Walmart. (for our American friends: Walmart Canada sucks compared to Walmart USA)

Yeah, we get royally boned on prices up here.
If it's light my fire, it's the most resinous fatwood I have ever seen. I got a pack of something similar thrown in once when I bought a fire steel and a mess kit from a light my fire stand at a Scout Jamboree, and it was something amazing. I would shave off a couple a curls of the stick, and it would blaze like nothing else. I don't know if it's really worth spending money on, but the quality of the timber is not in question to me at all.
Why not just buy this instead?

Three times the amount of fat wood for only 50% more.
