You cant get pickling lime in Canada its a banned food additive here

And from what I hear It's damn near impossible to get it even in the states. I guess one of the main suppliers who produce the stuff, went under, creating shortages, and it's back ordered by months.

You are kidding me... we cant get calcium hydroxide? Well, next time I go visit home (I'm from NY) I'll bring back a load.
