Blackcurrant squash. We've even seen Marmite here, but the concept of squash seems to have eluded Canadians so far.

One of the highlights of our trip to Toronto a few years back was the Cadbury's (and other Brit faves) readily available in the supermarkets...

Rowntrees Fruit Gums.
I know I can get them at the local Brit shop but they charge an arm and a leg for them.

Heinz tomato soup. Great hangover cure, and Campbell's condensed just isn't the same!
