You need to get a region-free DVD player. The only thing I can think of being suggested previously is copying the DVD without the region encoding. Not sure about the laws in Canada, but here in the US, it is currently illegal. (For those of you who are about to flame me, I DO NOT agree with the law yet it IS the law currently.)
Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense. -----Arnold Bennett
