Agreed. All bling factor. You will never go through so many extreme heat cycles to need slotted or drilled rotors. Just because it was built in Canada doesn't give them any more credit than being built in china. If a radiator was built in Mexico, does that make it better than one built in the states?
If you apply full brake power to the pedal and you eithet activate the abs or lock the wheels. You have plenty of stopping power. If you want more bite, upgrade the pads. If you want more pedal response, get stainless steel braided hoses.

I feel you only doing this for the looksame which is totally cool. But just don't lie to yourself about the reasoning

No kidding! Practically everything in Canada is made in China. Hell even the railroad was made by chinese immigrants.
Woudn't surprize me if they outsourced the manufacture of these rotors/pads and they're actually made in China simply because it's cheaper to do so, then shipped and sold in Canada.
