Not legal in Canada.

Then again there's few ticks in Canada's north, so Canadian hikers should just explore the northern part of their provinces.

Not legal to sell, but legal to possess. I go across the border and stock up at REI in Bellingham. No problems bringing it back across. Apparently this is quite common for lower mainland residents. When I brought 4 big bottles of the stuff up to the register, the first thing they asked was if I was Canadian.

Ah yeah that's a good distinction that I should have made.

I think I read somewhere that it's used by the Canadian Forces as well, but not made available to civilians.

I wonder why you can't sell it here. They even recommend it on the government's travel site:

Yes, but Lake Huron has some of the best dunes and freshwater beaches in Canada. It'd be hard to give that up.

That's unfortunate, I still spray before I leave to hike in Banff from the US though :)

Might need to carry a flame thrower for the black flies though!
