We will be living on Vancouver Island, which is nowhere near as cold as the rest of Canada gets.
I'm talking about a potted plant in my house--not a betel planation.
"Tree Hugger"? I've never been accused of that before!

Palm Trees in Oak Bay
"The Palm Tree Capital of Canada"
Oak Bay is Victoria, British Columbia's scenic 'Seaside Village'

You might want to read the excerpt below/including the link
Seed Selection and Germination - Mature fruits (nuts)
of a desired variety, “Red” or “White,” are used as seed
source. However, because the betel-nut is known to be
wind-pollinated, there is no guarantee that a seed from a
desired variety will grow to bear the same variety due to
the effects of cross-pollination. Unfortunately, cross pollination
cannot be detected until the planting material
(seed) becomes mature and produces its own nuts.

I can't say for sure about the seeds producing during your life time but the palm trees certainly grow in parts of Canada and most certainly in your area.

Nowadays, only ugly chicks sell betel nuts. Or they just use a crapload of makeup. All the good looking girls go work as part time models or give out sample beauty products or they get a job at the front desk at random companies.

You might want to check with the department of agriculture to see if it is legal to bring back such. You can't begin to imagine the damage that can be done to an Eco system by the introduction of just one plant or animal that has no natural preadetor in that system. Give it some serious thought before you do it.
