They have Mohawk toners in Canada, go look up their website and see if they have a local dealer, Mohawk products are not sold through large retail chains like Canadian Tire or Home Hardware. Deft also manufactures shading lacquer but I don't know who sells it in Canada. Also don't use satin lacquer, use gloss lacquer, satin lacquer looks wrong and is too soft, you can make gloss into semi gloss or satin by rubbing it out afterward. I have a C.G.E cathedral that someone refinished with semi gloss and it's full of scuff marks now.
