American companies come to Canada to gain at most an extra 10% on
their bottom line. Apparently, aftermarket lens companies don't see
the benefit in doing with with Sony, Olympus, Panasonic or Pentax
(well, some support Pentax.).

Are you saying that the lenses Sigma manufactures in 4/3, Sony, and Pentax
mounts are not available in Canada?

No, Sigma unfortunately is the only aftermarket company that actually
makes lenses for those brands outside of some exotics like
Voigtlander, but they are slowly eliminating them, at least for
Olympus.
Tamron and Tokina both make better lenses on average than Sigma but
only for Canon and Nikon.

Tamron and Tokina are making lenses in Sony mount.
