There is also a barber shop in the Pen Centre in St. Catharines that carries the Proraso brands. I bought the shave cream (tube ) for $6.95 and a jar of the Pre/Post cream for $10.95

Unfortunately I'm nowhere near the GTA - I'm actually in Edmonton, AB (I guess I should have mentioned that part
).
Are there any national chains that carry it?

Try drugstores in Italian areas (not sure if there is one in Edmonton) or groceries that cater to European tastes.
You can mail order the stuff pretty cheap if you really want to try it out - I think its good stuff. I used it exclusively for a couple of years, but don't use it that much anymore as I have lots of other soaps/creams to pick from.

You may want to indicate that info in your profile to avoid further confusion. It's not compulsory but it avoids similar situations

I'll try the Italian specialty stores this weekend! Thanks for the tip suzuki.
If I can't seem to track any down, does anyone know of a good online source (preferably in Canada as well - it helps avoid customs fees for items crossing the border)?

You might want to double check the customs website, but I think that you can order up to $20 worth of stuff without having to worry about customs/duties, etc and up to $60 if its a gift (i.e., send it to your mom, friend, etc.).
QED (qedusa.com) stocks it but is out (they have the soft soap in a bowl and the Omega cream in a tube which is virtually identical (same factory). He also stocks a good selection of other products, (including his own all natural glycerine soaps), offers great customer service.
His website sucks, but he responds quickly to e-mails and usually ships within 24 hours.

If you let me know via pm I can pick you up a tube from target on the weekend. I'm travelling to the USA on friday and will be back in ontario in the evening.
Other than that, Little Italy would be the place to find it.
