not sure where to buy it, but it's easy to make:

This may be heresy, but when I'm in a hurry, without buttermilk and can't wait 24 hours, I just whisk together equal parts of whipping cream and good quality sour cream and let it sit on the counter for a couple of hours. Sometimes I sweeten it with a bit of sugar or flavour it with rum for desserts.

Tried some from the Market a few years ago; bought some at Ottawa Bagel, Wellington Street - EXCELLENT. Tried some from Nicastro's, Wellington. Back to OttBag: other 2 were like thin sour cream; OttBag's was thick, creamy, not especially sour, ingredients were cream, bacterial culture (like Two Fat Ladies used to say: all you need are bugs and cows).
I suspect the product on the shelf at OttBag was farm-direct even if probably pasteurized and not (re-)created later from cream, buttermilk/yoghurt and 24 hours to brew.
