Atmosphere, MEC, Bass Pro, whatever your favourite outdoor store is.

As I understand it, what expires is the propellant. So if you need to use it and it's expired it may just fizzle out rather than actually spraying.
(Also, apparently a non-expired can sprays out at ~110km/h so even if you're firing into the wind, it will still get the bear. It'll just blow some back at you as well which would be less than pleasant. )
