It is not common stock and, on the really odd ones, I have to wait a while but I can always get them. B+W, Heliopan and Rodenstock are distributed in Canada. I do know that Kindermann Canada is the distributor for Rodenstock filters. They promised to keep all the common ones in stock in the various Leica sizes. No one should chide you for using a filter for a specific effect! I use red, yellow-green, ND and polarizing filters when I need to. Heck I even use UV filters in blowing sand or blowing salt spray.
