...erm... why would anyone want to sell UK R2 DVDs in Canada?
R2 (Europe, including the UK) DVDs are PAL - which is incompatible with R1 (USA & Canada) and R2 (Japan) NTSC TVs and DVD players...

...but, then, you already knew that, didn't you?...

...oops! ...just noticed that was your first post - so sorry!
Take a look here:

...you will notice that Region 2 is in two 'parts' as mentioned in my previous post; the same is true of Region 4...
...you should also note that, in order for you to be able to play anything but R1 DVDs, you would need an all-region player ...to view DVDs from regions other than R1, you would need a multi-system TV - these are fairly common in Europe, but in North America they are as rare as hens' teeth...
Isn't this fun?!
