No, I don't think that blower fan will be a good replacement for an Mk3s+.
See, one is a 3D printer, and the other is a fan.
Is this blower a reasonable replacement for an Mk3s+?

I wish Prusa had the specs for the OEM part…
I’m almost certain I had a cheap 5v fan on my mk3s for a while after the fan killed itself (saw others complaining online about the wires breaking off at the solder pads really easily) which quick check online seem to range 2.7->3.5 cfm so flow rate wise I don’t think it’ll be a problem.

I know, right? Like I could order the OEM part, but I wouldn’t mind getting something a bit more powerful.

I’ve seen This fan (ldo DF5015H05S) mentioned as a replacement, 4.4 cfm @5000 rpm, supposedly faster than the stock fan. Having a really hard time finding a Canadian supplier (assuming from the .ca in your original post). Found a Post on the prusa forum also suggesting good results from a fystec fan, this links to an aliexpress page but have seen on eBay and Amazon.
First link is to kb-3d which I’ve have good experience with in the past for some mods.
