Marstar for Pietta revolvers and Pedersoli long guns.
For bits and pieces, patching cloth, powder flasks, etc., I always ordered from Track of the Wolf in the U.S.

Shooter's Choice in Waterloo, Ontario also carries the same as Marstar, plus black powder. As for bits and pieces, they have alot of them for sale too. Hope that helps.
It takes me to the GunRoom, Shooters Choice?? Have been leaning towards Track of the Wolf, shipping is good with them. Gun Room not that much in extras, good in collection of BP guns. TOTW .54 balls $10, locally $30, might as well buy casting mold.
Thanks!

Casting is easy. You just need to find pure lead.
Locally, you are at the mercy and indifference of suppliers who only stock a few sizes of round balls, minie balls, or maxi balls.
Buy molds from T of W, an iron casting pot, a ladle, and use a camp stove to melt your lead.
Or, buy a Lee electric melting pot.

Have always had good luck using Dixie Gun Works-they ship to Canada and have just about everything I need. Track of the Wolf is also superb, unfortunately our market in Canada is small enough that it would not encourage a Canadian company to set up the same as those have and we are stuck buying in US bucks.
Have you tried calling Peter @ Rusty Wood Trading Co. in Mission, BC.

Ive searched Rusty Wood site, not much their , never e-mailed them 
Ive looked at Dixe also, they dont ship to Canada Pistol wise, they do have the Trapper Pistol, parts wise Track has them beat, it is a nice site to browse, Would love to get the .50 call Cannon they have, funny theirs no ban on that to be shipped to Canada lol.
I did order the .54 caliber cleaning set, the 12" hickory 3/8" diameter rod and a couple flints from Tracks. Leaning towards to Ball molds from Track and the screw on tap top for the powder can instead of a whole brass/horn powder, they dont seam to have a Pan Primer though, Dixie does. So the loading brass is the next items I need, locally nothing, besides batches, their not carrying anything. Too bad its a dying art.
Thanks!

Apply for access to the EE. That's another place to find BP stuff.
Barring that poke around http://www.rustywood.ca/ The EE links I posted are for BP stuff Rusty Wood is peddling.

The tube screws into a spigot. The spigot screws into the flask. You cut the tube down to measure the desired volume charge. Put your finger over the tube, open the spigot and shake to charge the tube. If Taylor offers different tube lengths they are just offering an off the shelf charge volume option.
BTB - It's considered a Modern BP Shooting NO-NO to charge directly from a flask. I may have to dawn my flame suite now
