Looks like a high performance brake fluid and meets all the DOT requirements. However, for street driving, you may not need something like this. It's been said that high performance brake fluids work very well but can absorb water more quickly and thus may need changing earlier.
If you can get Valvoline Synpower brake fluid at your local Canadian Tire store, this has worked well for me and many others. To do both brake and clutch systems, 1L should be enough. Synpower comes in about 400 ml bottles. 3 of these should be plenty.
Also, keep in mind that anything you order from the Marketplace will likely be shipped via UPS and we all know that UPS is not cross border shopping friendly.
