Mathieu, if you feel comfortable ordering online, there are a few options 
for you.  You can try Pearl, at www.pearlpaint.com.  The site uses the Yahoo 
Store shopping cart.  I did find WN matte varnish on this site, though I 
have not ordered anything from Pearl online.  The catch is that Pearl 
charges extra for orders under $50 and orders shipped to Canada.  Dick Blick 
is another option, at www.dickblick.com, as well as Utrecht at 
www.utrechtart.com.  I've had success ordering from both of these sites.  
They sell their own brands, and other brands like Golden, but don't seem to 
sell WN matte varnish (I could just be overlooking things, though).  The 
issue with ordering online is that you're paying $$ for the convenience of 
having the supplies shipped to your door.  Another option is to check 
www.winsornewton.com, and search for stores in your area that carry the 
brand.  Since these stores are listed dealers of WN, they should hopefully 
be able to special order for you.

Good luck!
Sue
