They are Clarks baked Beans in tomato sauce and they are available at Sobeys for 99c per tin. Haven't checked Superstore yet but found an old closed thread from 'Grah' saying that they are available at Giant Tiger.

Served them up to my kids without saying a word and they both asked if I had some Heinz shipped over.
