The Farnell catalogue lists a variety of pressure sensors, absolute and
differential, which could be used to measure airspeed when connected
to a pitot/static system. I don't know who makes them, but they should
be available in Canada from somebody. Farnell operate in the UK and
Australia at least (they're expensive, but have a huge range of neat
stuff in stock).
