I see  in this only a big opportunity to orange pill somebody.
Send them BTC and they will figure it out how to spend them directly or pay bills with sats. There are many ways to spend sats in Canada.
 

 If that was the situation I’d do that. Unfortunately it isn’t.  

 push it harder. Make it a conditional acceptance: you take BTC or nothing.
I would do that. 

 Lol good luck with that.  

 Yes, this is how I onboarded many nocoiners.
I told them I do not have fiat money anymore and if they want those money from me, they should accept BTC or nothing (aka HFSP).

In other words...

 I hear you. Not an option in this case. Wasting your keystrokes friend.
