This place in Ontario seems to have them, and they appear to ship across Canada.

I think just about every 'Brit' store has them - but you might find them in Bulk Barn

Very close though, if it's crackers we're talking about. I thought wafers must be something else, perhaps the communion format.

They are puffed and flaky - not the same as a cream cracker, thicker, tastier.

Superstore sells something similar to that too then. Obvs I know the real thing is always better for our taste buds than a North American copy.

horses for courses. To me theyâ€™re the last ones left in the cracker selection pack. Just a bit too soft. Softness is a cardinal sin in a biscuit or a cracker in my book.

Do you think itâ€™s the cold weather, Christmas a coming, or the desire to fill your face and hibernate? There is very much a resurgence of threads with a food theme...theyâ€™ve all got me going and I am now 100% in food fantasy land

I'm with you. Soft biscuits/crackers are the stale ones you throw out.
