I believe you'll be able to buy the iPhone 4 without a SIM-lock in Canada direct from Apple:

Then you can stick whatever SIM card you want and it'll work. Unfortunately, you'll be stuck with paying a lot at the beginning for the phone. It's also possible that you can get your carrier to unlock it; I know some UK carriers will.

All UK carriers will - they're obliged to.

Not sure how a SIM-locked iPhone is any different to any other phone that's SIM-locked - any pretty much any phone that's subsidised will be locked.
