It looks like the cable was made to Canadian 'FT2' standards
"FT2 on an electrical cord refers to the CSA (Canadian Standards Associations) test designation for wires and cables. FT2 is the minimum mandatory horizontal flame test for Flexible Cord. A burner flame is applied to a horizontal sample for five 15 second applications and must not exceed 100mm from end to end. There should also be no type of flame particles falling from the sample."

600V AWM (Appliance Wiring Material) conductors, 14 AWG. The red one shows “Style 3135,” which is Heat-Resistant Silicone Cable. The long nomenclature is a traceability of sorts, to the insulating material.
