I think the Canadian government has banned local manufacturing and importing of old Rapid Start fluorescent light tubes and inductive ballasts. When they are gone in the stores then they are gone forever and people must replace the existing fittings with modern T8 tubes and electronic ballasts to save electricity. The new tubes don't fit into the old fittings.

Not a problem in the UK, because the tube heaters are only pulsed on to start the tube - once it's running they aren't powered.
