I see lots of Canadians using frozen/salted minnows (probably due to regulation and convenience as opposed to effectiveness?), has anyone given that a shot around town and if so have a recommendation for places to get them?

I know someone who knew the guys at JR tackle in BP and he had them freeze the dead minnows from there tanks and would take them up to Canada. Not sure if any shops would do that for you and also not sure if they salted them or just tossed them in a bag a froze them.

I don’t think you can take any bait to Canada–dead or alive. I might be wrong about that but thought all bait had to be bought in Canada.
