The same places that other Brit stuff is sold should have it. I was able to get it before Sobeys and Walmart had their Brit sections.

The Metro near us just started carrying a Brit section so I will investigate there! Thanks for the tip!

Ah Metro...the last place I saw jars of an absolutely heavenly Maille sauce.

It would be nice to find it in cans, though.
I buy canned Diet Tonic here in BC made by Western Family from what was Coopers and is now Save On Foods. It is hands down better than the diet tonic i bought recently in a large bottle from Superstore (President's Choice). I literally couldn't drink it and chucked my drink away, bleurghhh.
I have also tried Q Tonic which is expensive but low calorie without being branded "diet". Only problem was I had to finish the whole bottle so it didn't go flat and go to waste.

Winners sells Bottle Green's Tonic which my sister used to constantly buy in the UK, they're 3.99 for a 4 pack, but YMMV as Winners stock varies from store to store
