This may have been the case but Kashmir bee virus has been in the US for 
many years now.  The US said they did not have KBV but when Dr. Denis 
Anderson had a look he found it.  As I recall this was back in the days when 
Dr. Shimanuki was in the USDA.  At the time the US was trying to use the 
absence of KBV as an excuse to stop live bees from Australia.

So I don't think you can blame Canada for giving you KBV when it has been 
there for a long time.
