I have been considering the pacy low step through 26" dual suspension bicycle for a while now. I too am looking for a more upright position and I e-mailed Pacy to ask if the had any distributors in Canada. They were very gracious and mailed back promptly. They said that they had no distributors here but I could purchase a bike directly and have it shipped privately. It would probably cost just under $2000 all inclusive. They said that I could have a choice of components. I own a Mariner 26 which I fitted with folding handlebars from the same company that supply Pacy. The handlebars make the mariner more compact without the hastle of removing the handlebar but it has compromised the riding position and given the bike a more mountain bike style. Pacy's web page is difficult to follow (I cant speak German) and is also incomplete but the customer servise guy is very willing to aanswer any questions and in English.
