Lead Free - Does such a thing even exist in Canada?

[FresherThanBreastMilk]

Been looking for lead free 12ga Slugs for a non rifled barrel, as well as lead free (or FMJ equivalent) .223/5.56 (preferably clean burn) but it's like they don't even exist here in Canada; what gives for someone who is not allowed downrange lead? Is this all part of the great ammo shortage of 2020/2021 or do they just not make em?

Plus, any thoughts on:

- General Dynamics IVI 9mm (Non-Toxic).

- BARNES VOR-TX 5.56X45 MM 62 GR TSX BT.

Dakota - I didn't read the thread to see your post. I just responded to an alert that 0faustus0 missed that on the linked article. Just came online to read 'all the stuff' - I was out shooting all PM until dark, then it snowed out East here. 2* at 5PM - dark-time with No Sun today.
