Default CCI Copper-22 in .22 LR- Anyone in Canada stocking it?

I'm trying to track down some CCI Copper 22.
1850fps with a 21 gr bullet would be a sweet little round.

Does or will anyone in Canada stock it?

My question is why?
These bullets seem to perform poorly in almost every category. Loud, leaves plastic residue in your barrel, poor grouping over 75 yards, velocity drops exponentially with a barrel over 16" or under 12" and expensive. If its $10/50 in the states it will be close to $18-20/50 here. They are being sold as a frangible small game bullet but many tests have shown they do not break apart on steel targets. In fact there is a video were it goes right through a propane tank. Also there is no expansion on ballistics gels so many are saying it will make a poor small game bullet as well.

No they are a copper powder and polymer composite.
