Y’all have any tractor supplies in Canada? I get 50 pound bags for I think it was $5? I can’t remember the price but I know it was cheap.

Tractor Supply Co. (TSC) has a number of stores in Ontario at least; I wish they were here in Manitoba as well. Peavey Mart is here and is very similar.

@ fishhead0103666 are you talking about pool filter sand or sand blasting sand? I'd love to find black pool filter sand; sand blasting sand is ground up coal slag, nasty sharp-edged abrasive stuff and often leaves an oily slick on the water surface.
