I found some at Walmat.ca
I plan to head down to the local store here in Ottawa this weekend to see if they have any on the shelf.
Scott.
EDIT: Actually, I found it at Canadian Tire last night.

Ronnie, the V-Twin 20W50 is excellent. Several of us Turbo owners are now running this oil, since Kevin's sound recommendation. My Blackstone used oil analysis reports have been great, and keep improving the past 18 months.
I've done 3 V-Twin oil changes the past 18 months (4th one due in about 6 weeks). My wear metals have been cut in half during the past 15,000 miles (now about 52,000 miles). It's like the engine is still breaking-in. In fact, my UOA's for the Turbo are becoming very similar to the UOA's from my 2006 Boxster S with 44,000 miles (owned since new).
Ronnie, have you ever looked at a quart of Mobil 1 in your garage in the dead of winter? My 5W40, 5W50, 20W50 and even the 75W90 Delvac (gear oil) all look about the same, from a cold flow characteristic in the bottle. Very "un-scientific" I know.
I don't think you'll have any cold start problems. Your Turbo is properly maintained. With a quality battery, on a proper battery maintainer, the car will fire-up just fine. Then, no RPM's over 4K until oil temp says, "go time". As you know and follow already.
