I know what you mean, Canada is even worse, since there isn't anything at all. There's a channel though YTV and they have a time slot called "Bionix" that shows anime, but I barely watch it since dubs just irk me. But when it comes to merchandise, especially in Calgary, nothing, natta, zip! I haven't found one store that has any anime/manga merchandise, I mean, I found a store for German chocolate (which is pretty good by the way) but nothing for anime. *sobs*
