I posted about this quite some time ago. A cyster very knowledgable about met said that she'd done research and apparently, there wasnt a high demand for met ER in Canada. I'm not sure if anything has changed.

Yep, I called the manufacturer and asked about it a few years ago. They said that the demand just isn't there and they had no plans to start producing it. That was a few years ago mind you.
