Its likely the same thing. Bear spray is 2% Caspiam pepper check what your dog spray is its probably the same product. Human Pepper spray is usually 1%. Be careful with it. Here is what Wikipedia has to say
Quote:
In Canada all products with a label containing the words pepper spray, mace, etc., or otherwise originally produced for use on humans are classified as a prohibited weapon.[42] Only law enforcement officers may legally carry or possess pepper spray. Any similar canister with the labels reading "dog spray" and/or "bear spray" is regulated under the Pest Control Products Act - while legal to be carried by anyone, it is against the law if its use causes 'a risk of imminent death or serious bodily harm to another person' or harming the environment and carries a penalty up to a fine of $500,000 and jail time of maximum 3 years

So I was wrong you are allowed to carry it but if you hit another person with it you may be charged. I know when you buy bear spray at MEC they make you sign a bunch of waivers before you can get it.
