Anyone know where to buy Micropore tape in Canada?

I've looked at various drug stores, and looked in the pharmacy section of Walmart and the closest thing looks like medical tape.
I bought some generic brand( Equate)paper adhesive first aid tape which said it's breathable is this the same thing as micropore tape?
Can it be used for GE holes in pasteyteks petri dishes or for GE for your grain jars instead of having to use Polyfill or Tyvek?

canada is really big. do you have rite-aid?
i use micropore(good job not calling it micopore/microspore) on everything. from holes on tubs to jars. with jars i use a small piece of tape over whichever hole was used to inoculate through(if using a syringe) same with a pasty plate.
although jars inoc with agar are just the metal lid with a few holes(left over pf lids) and a layer of tyvek. if it matters..

I'm on Vancouver Island, I have never seen any rite aid stores here. Like I said I went to Walmart and went to the pharmacy section where they have bandages, band aids, gauze etc and they had several types of first aid tape. The one I grabbed doesn't specify " micropore" anywhere on the package but neither did any of the ones they had there I just think maybe in Canada they don't use that word. I grabbed the Walmart branded( Equate) paper adhesive tape which says breathable. I'm assuming since the design of this is to be used for first aid and preventing infections that it would work just fine as a filter for Gas Exchange for either the pasteyteks glad mini rounds or for GE for the Grain jar jars used for WBS.
I did however use a 1/4" hole for GE on my grain jar lids is this in fact too big too use if using micropore tape? I do not intend to use a Tyvek or synthetic filter disk? I've just been using polyfill up to this point but it's kind of a pain in the ass to stuff into the lid and I often wonder if it is allowing sufficient GE to being with

You need to buy the 3m surgical micropore tape. It comes on a small roll like scotch tape, minus the dispenser. I am in the Lower Mainland area and find it here in Pharmasaves.
BTW, whereabouts on the island are you? Just curious.  I love it over there.

hole size is fine at 1/4 inch. but larger holes/using just the screw has dried jars out before they get 100%. you need micropore. id order it online. its not expensive.
polyfil is a pain.

Some packages don't say micropore tape but if you look inside the core the tape is wrapped around it will say micropore on it.

Yeah I actually just figured this out. Bought some Nextape paper adhesive tape only says "micropore" in fine print on the back of the package.

have you been to Canada before?
When I go to America I have to fuckin drink a 6 pack. You can get some cheap beer here that's 5.5-6% and it actually tastes pretty good. Usually good after 2-3 tops.

Shit for me it's Lucky extra or OE if I'm slumming it. La fin du monde or big rock mosiac if I'm doing microbrew. Stella Artois if I'm out and can't wait get anything decent on tap.
Only American beers I drink is Delerium tremens or some pabst blue. Delerium for the ethanol and p blue cause VDG got me drinking it.

Amazon.ca has 200g agar agar powder for $15+free shipping right now. Just a heads up. 1kg for $55
That's pretty good, for me anyway, considering I have a real rough time finding the stuff in stores. Last time I ordered 50g for $25

The micropore I have technically is medical tape... Got it from a medical supplies store (also live in the great white North lol. Its is actually made by 3M as well so you know it's good stuff. Curious as to why you don't want to use medical micropore?
