Green is like a heavy blue, clear is like a heavy brown with a bigger bump.

Also hard to find in a keyboard. You'll have to watch for them on something like MassDrop most likely.

Here, take a gander at this:
http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/
And even though it is a clear (has a bump) the I would have called the clear a white switch.
They also have Grey, White, Super Black (really heavy force at 150 cN) and Dark Grey.
Yes! It is BLOODY WONDERFUL!!!
The weird thing is without looking up the force levels, I couldn't have told you which was heavier, green or blue, but it may just be the slightly loose base on that sampler.
But I love my blues. I'll be taking my keyboard back into work to the office staff can try it.
I also think I've picked up about 5 more words per minute typing speed since I've started using this. And fewer typos!

There are a few sources, but I don't know how many will ship to Canada, but at least you can try and track down models:

I figured it would be nice thing to do for the office staff at my work if I can get them good keyboards for their work computers.
Turns out everybody likes blues.
Just ordered this. Had to get it from the WSAD site itself. Only $35 CAD not to shabby.
I think the clears might be best for me actually. Guess we will see
Nice! After my illness and the weakness in the hands I started looking left and right for the right keyboard and found the Corsair mech that I wanted with Cherry MX blues as well and have really enjoyed it

Looks awesome! I spent all my life's savings *click* on a *click* blackwidow *click* and It's awesome!
I love the sound but I'm worried about neighbors
Now I understand why you recommended me a mechanical keyboard (it was a long time ago) I love it! but too sad the keycaps already got shiny I love mine for coding
the keys kinda sounds like plasma guns on those old games!and 35$? :O that's amazing! I wish i could buy it instead of this

This is so bright! it hurts my eyes
and I couldn't find corsair I would have bought that otherwise
and the chroma was kind of not worth the money, but it was small upgrade compared to price of the keyboard, if i didn't do it i would be always wondering, anyway this is me with this keyboard (i had it for a month now):
week 1: This is amazing! (Customizing all the keys, spending hours)
week 2: Cool! making profiles for games
week 3: Backlight is off 90% of times
I thought the keyboard itself might get normal for me after a month, but each day it still feels awesome I mostly bought it because typing was so terrible on my g510, I think my shift key had a problem :S
and the backlight on the middle is actually blue with slight amounts of red and green, looks purple on the camera ;S

Love me some Cherry Browns! Though the wife finds it a bit annoying when I'm typing near her, due to my hamfisted smashing of the keys all the way down.

The $35 was for a 6 key MX Cherry sampler so i could get a feel for what switch is best for me btw

If you don't have the rubber o-rings already installed, adding them helps quite a lot.Love me some Cherry Browns! Though the wife finds it a bit annoying when I'm typing near her, due to my hamfisted smashing of the keys all the way down.

This. Both my mechanical keyboards have them.
You can get them super cheap on Amazon by buying generic o-rings instead of branded.

Yup already have them and it did make a difference. They only make noise now on the upstroke not when mashed down. I don't mind the noise and if I take care and only push the keys until they engage ie (type properly) they are a lot quieter. Alas, my meat hands and lack of finesse do not do quiet.
I bought these O rings and they work just fine.

Sounds like you want Brown with O-rings installed.

Got my Cherry switch tester in today 
*Incase anyone is wondering what happened to my Les Stroud knife, I squished it with a fork lift. Bent it back a bit and it still works perfectly.
