It looks like there are a few Ace Hardware stores in Ontario... not sure how close you are to any of them. They carry it: Ace® Ammonia - 15 Pack - Industrial Cleaners - Ace Hardware (not that you want to pay for 15 bottles... I am sure you can buy individual bottles in the store).

You can also just use some shrimp or prawns from your local seafood counter. A couple placed in a mesh bag or some new panty hose and then placed in the tank will cycle it almost as quickly as using pure ammonia.
 
Thank you so much for looking that up. Unfortunately the closes one to me is a 2 hour drive. I think I will use the shrimp, thanks a bunch for that suggestion!
 
Any time. Depending on the tank size, 1 or 2 will usually get it done.

I cycled my 57 gal reef tank with 2 medium sized raw shrimp in about 3-4 weeks.
