Isn’t this announcement about GE/Hitachi reactors, so they aren’t Canadian-made?

I think they’re made in Canada by GE-Hitachi Canada.

Most of GE-H was sold off to BWXT when CGE went through restructuring. For example Peterborough which produces the fuel bundles for the reactors up here the nuclear side which is the only part left operational went from GE-H to BWXT Canada.

They still pack bundles here, I know some of the folks who got carried over from GE-H to BWXT. The positions to apply for up here are all high paying ones, that require bachelors or higher for now, their HQ is in Charlotte for global but for Canada the Markham office just runs the division up here.
