The best deal I've found so far for a Canadian source is 1/4 that amount for about 2x the price. Any better deals I found from the US either don't ship to Canada or charge enough to more than wipe out any savings with the shipping cost. 

 

That's annoying. I'm running into this kind of thing all the time when consulting people in other countries. Some ingredients that really don't seem all that exotic can be nearly impossible to find, unless you're shopping for industrial quantities. I'll come up with a version that doesn't use trehalose. It's an ingredient I don't bother with in ice cream because it's functionally very close to lactose, which is vital, and which makes up half of all the milk solids. But you can't really get away with putting milk solids in sorbet ...
