onyx -
Those are the 200 or 206 canisters, not the 106. The difference between the 200 and 206 is the gas mixture - 200 is pure butane, 206 is 80% butane plus 20% propane. The puncture-type stoves and lanterns of the 206 series are no longer made, but many thousands of them are around. So the canisters are still being made in France, SE Asia, and Slovenia.

And you are right - shipping gas canisters is a bit of a problem, as with any hazardous material. UPS, FedEx, and other shippers can help you with the packing and labeling, though, but the cost may not be worth it for just 2 canisters. You can probably find someone in the Vancouver area that can use them if you go to a few of the outdoor shops.
