Ya, I think it's like that here also. I can't speak for all the companies, but it seems so.
I read this from WIN: Ministry Not Moving Forward With 15-20% Increase Ethanol Content in Fuels in 2022 | NOTO
Ethanol blending will remain restricted to “regular gas” with an octane level of 87. There are no plans to blend ethanol into the medium (89) and high octane fuels (91) in Ontario.

Its amazing how, with all of the info available, we still do not know what's going on.Well, Canadian tire didn't read that article unfortunately!
Petro Can didn't read it either. All their fuel contains ethanol. Pretty sure they add it to their coffee too.

Supposedly Shell hasn't added it to their premium blends.
They have here in Alberta. All blends including 91 and 93 have ethanol now. The only ones that I know of that definitely don't have ethanol are Co-op 91 and Chevron 94 (both clearly labeled as NO ETHANOL on the pumps).

If this guy thinks there is no ethanol in Shell gas, it's good enough for me!
I'm curious, do the CTC stations in Ontario have the "Top Tier" fuel designation? They don't have it in MB, only the Shell and Co-Op stations have it.

I found this from 2018
All Canadian Tire gasoline is provided by major oil companies whose products meet or exceed all government standards for motor fuel. Canadian Tire buys and sells fuels from main Canadian refiners but does not have a 'Top Tier' designation at this time.Jun 12, 2018
You guys are WAY overthinking this. Use premium, ultra 94 if possible. And drive the wheels off it.

I'm more worried about my garden tractor and GoKart motors.
We only have 91 in MB. I don't have a reason not to use Top Tier, it's what GM recommends and the cost is pretty much the same.
