Flying with stoves and fuel bottles is not just a Canadian rule thing. In the last few years many U.S. airlines have tightened up on the checking through and carrying onboad "backpacking" stoves and fuel bottles. I have heard many horror stories from customers (I own an outdoor store) who have had stoves and fuel bottles confiscated by airline personnel. In some instances, these were brand new! A couple of years ago, the American Hiking Society published a list of airlines and listed them as to their "friendliness" toward backpackers on this issue. Fliers beware or the stove police!
