I would also give a big thumbs up to Icky Fly Works. Top quality flies, incredibly fast shipping and service above all others. If you have even the slightest issue Icky will make it right.

I'm not sure about edmonton shops. But I have had great success with flies from Dream drift flies (who sell Montana fly co) and Fly Fish USA

A little pricey but the quality is there.

At that price? Not a chance. If you want local flies you'll have to pay local wage, a lot of guys do it as a side, but they're not making much.

Thats what i figured, was just thrown off by the Canadian comment. I tie my own flies but would never sell for under $2 each, just too much time goes into them. I guess a smart business can outsource anything to get cheap labor.
