This is stupid, I bought mine while not living in Canada, howcome I can't have it fixed where I live now?! I thought all the global corporations have global warranties, boy was I wrong.

Anyways, if you're in BC, there're a few companies south of the border within 500m from the Peace Arch or Truck Border X-ing which can receive packages for you. The one I'm using charges $2.50 for the large boxes (less for smaller ones).

If you're back east I'm sure there're similar companies there too.
