Not yet. The US Version contains ingredients that aren't legal in carbonated drinks in Canada (such as B-vitamins, don't ask me why the rules are that way but they are) and certain amino acids...L-Carnitine is one I think. So the company would have to modify the formulation AND the label to sell it in Canada.
The SF
Red Bull also contains aspartame and ace-K as the sweeteners.
The new (found it in Thrifty Foods in Colwood Corners)
SOBE ARush Sugarfree in the black can is very very good, and is sweetened with sucralose (Splenda), contains Guarana, Caffeine, Taurine, d-Ribose, Inositol, B6, B12 (not actually carbonated). Good solid citrus flavour.
And there's also
XS-Drink, comes in at least 3 flavours, and has been available in Canada for at least a year, sweetened with Splenda. Can't get it in the stores, but can get it from direct distributors online.
BTW, 1.99 for a small can is actually a very good price, it's not plain sodapop, it's supplemented. In the US, if you can find it for 1.99 USD that's also considered pretty good price.
