Does anyone know where you can buy Canned Butter in Canada?

Found a few places in the US but some said that it couldn't be shipped up here to the Great White North, other just didn't say.

What your looking for is called 'Ghee', it was originally East Indian clarified butter. Where to find it?, any store catering to East Indian Cuisine. or make it yourself. If buying this at a sporting store expect to pay top dollar. The following is from YAHOO.
Ghee is never refrigerated. It is always kept outside at room temperature.
If the weather is hot Ghee will melt to an oily consistency - That is absolutely fine.
Sometimes the ghee on the top of a container will melt and the bottom remains semi solid - that is fine too.
If the weather is cold Ghee will coagulate, and be a little grainy not like butter which is smooth - That is fine too.
Ghee in any of these states can be safely used.
Ghee doesn't spoil easily, it has a long shelf life. It will stay up to 6 months or more.

Canned Butter VS Ghee

Basic Similarities and Differences
Ghee is the traditional clarified butter used in recipes from the Indian subcontinent. It has a nutty flavor, a high smoking point and is shelf-stable, so you do not have to keep it in the refrigerator. Canned butter, on the other hand, contains water and milk solids and is canned for the purpose of long-term storage. Like, ghee, canned butter is shelf-stable.

Ghee
Ghee is made by heating butter to a boiling state so that the milk solids fall to the bottom of the pan and the water evaporates. The solids are strained out of the golden liquid and discarded. Use ghee as you would any oil-like or semi-solid fat in cooking or frying.

Canned Butter
Canned butter is made by bringing butter to a boil and sealing it in glass jars, if canned at home. Home canning is not recommended, however, due to the threat of botulism. When canned commercially, butter is sealed in metal tins. Commercial canning produces a product that may be safely added to your food storage. Commercially canned butter is imported from Australia or New Zealand.
