I don't know the details of the laws and market in Canada but in the US when they 'outlawed' traditional bulbs the law only pertains to light bulbs used for 'general consumer illumination' meaning they left a train size loophole in the law allowing the old fashioned bulbs to simply be re-labeled for another purpose to skirt the law... Yes, most of the big box stores have phased out the regular bulbs because there are much higher profit margins on LEDs and florescent but regular bulbs can still be found in smaller stores like dollar stores (at least in the US) or in other places like pet or grow stores where they are sold for a specific purpose beyond 'general consumer illumination' for example all the dollar store bulbs are now labeled 'For Heavy Duty Use'... Also if you can the lower wattage halogen bulbs you can use them as well, just note the real wattage not the 'light equivalent wattage' as heat produced is nearly directly proportional to real wattage in regards to filament based bulbs... And if all else fails go to Ebay and order up some ceramic IR heat bulbs, I have switched to these over regular bulbs for my brooders since they last much longer and there is no 24/7 light in the brooder...
Example of Ebay IR heat bulb...

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE on the Ebay ceramic IR heat bulbs, pay attention to the working voltage, lots of them are rated for 220-240 volts not the 110-120 volts we use in the US... Either find a seller that is selling the 110-120 volt versions (as linked above) or if you must you can use the 220-240 volt version but you will need to double the rated wattage to get your desired level of heat, for example if you want 50W of heat you would get a 100w @ 220/240 volt ceramic bulb and it will produce about 50W @ 110/120 volts... Just don't do the opposite of running a 110/120 bulb on 220/240, yeah you will get about twice the heat but chances are it will burn up or catch fire...
