Novamin toothpaste is only sold & mfg in the UK. There are some conspiracy theories going around that the ingredient is so good they won't sell it to us in the US! [1]

I actually buy it off Amazon and use it myself because I have teeth sensitivity and it contains no SLS, which causes some irritation for me. It is quite interesting stuff. I doubt it would have lead since a synthetic compound. [2]

No, it's a trademark issue.

And, as Canada is a place, it has Novamin-based Sensodyne.

Can you share some sources?
