Canada’s emissions standards are also looser than the US’s. Heck, they allowed Russian-made Lada Nivas there.

Not really, any longer. We hold to about the same emissions standards as the federal regs in the US, although not California’s standards.
I don’t really know about what Ford Fiesta with a diesel that is sold in Canada you guys are talking about. I’ve never seen one here, nor does Ford’s Canadian website have them. Generally speaking if it’s not available for the US market it’s not available here, either, and sometimes not even then. It’s not cost efficient to qualify a car just for the Canadian market, when the US standards are almost exactly the same.
